All flights/planes grounded in America

Nationwide Flight Ground Stop in Effect Today​

All departing flights in the U.S. are currently grounded due to a rare FAA nationwide ground stop caused by serious air traffic control communications issues.

What’s Happening​

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a nationwide ground stop this afternoon, halting all departures across U.S. airports The FAA cited “extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety” and confirmed the disruption is due to communication problems affecting multiple Air Traffic Control Centers

This is only the second time since 9/11 that a ground stop has affected the entire nation — the last was in January 2023, when over 10,000 flights were canceled

Flights already in the air are permitted to continue to their destinations International flights to the U.S. are being handled case-by-case

Impact​

• All new domestic departures are grounded until the FAA lifts the stop
• Airports are warning travelers to check airline apps and websites for updates before heading to the airport
• Expect cancellations, delays, and rebooking challenges into the weekend as operations resume
• The FAA has not yet given an exact end time; earlier advisories suggested possible resolution by 10 p.m. Central, but this is uncertain

The smartest thing I did today, was booking a hotel in PHX, the moment I saw full FAA stop, knowing i would have to pay if things i flew out tonight.

After I booked, sat around airport for 3hrs with zero info or updates.

Nothing..

Then pretty much all flights cancelled at the same time.

Thousands of people could not get a hotel room tonight, and will be forced to sleep in airport.

Cant get a renatal car today or tomorrow at National or Hertz.

No clue if I get placed on a flight tomorrow.

Today was a shitty travel day for sure, but I am alot better off in a Fairfield Inn than all the people sleeping at PHX airport tonight.

At a sports bar in Chandler Az at the moment. Thankful for having a place to sleep tonight.

Tons of people will be sleeping on floors tonight.

Sean Duffy said it, Air traffic control system is anticated, really? All of sudden, especially on Friday the 13, all hell broke lose. I think they'll need to get serious about who's responsible for this. Microsoft announced they have no clue when its sytem will be up fully. I wouldn't pass that, chance of this scenario was a concerted effort by some players, sabotage.

Don't you think it's highly suspicious that a tanker on the Mississippi collides with a small cruiseship docked. Any of these huge ships have local pilots guide them, so what's up with that? Maybe a muslim symphatizer from local cell was the pilot,lol. It was a few yrs when another large ship went too fast and failed to steeer the ship, hitting the bridge, taking it out!

I don't know what to think, I don't think "the public" will ever know. I also read something happen to some train systems.

No one in power is mentioning anything nefarious.

The cruise ship had 129 elderly, doesn't seem like a prime target for muslim sympathizers.

As with any ‘significant event’, the powers that be , and any entities involved can NEVER be trusted for ‘full disclosure’ (gayest term ever), unless it becomes overtly obvious to the general public what actually happened (even then) …. Then it’s quickly flipped to push whatever narrative / agenda suits them best that they think they can force down the throats of stupid people.
I look at it as an insult to my intelligence and just laugh. Like I fell off a fucking turnip truck.
Bunch of Kooks.

You talkin like the last few hours or maybe should have worn ear plugs to those concerts, quite some time now?

…Huhhh…lol… I have heard no air traffic since I first read on here that all aircraft in the US were grounded… It is still dead silent at Lockheed Burbank Airport at 11:03 PM.…

…And Frank Cooley made some viciously loud TNT amplifiers in the 60s…ouch…

…Oops… I spoke too soon… It is possible that I just heard an aircraft land

9/11 I lived 35 miles nw of ohare and no planes in the sky coupled with the sound of Metra "running" people out of the city was...eerie.

… We are back to dead silent here in North Hollywood…I’m not even sure if that was an aircraft I heard a while ago…it is also dead silent as far as from Railroad noise… There are tracks running north south in the east San Fernando Valley and east west…

… Now I just heard another woosh from the direction of the airport

So I was at pheonix boarding my plane to St. George when this happened. We pushed back and then 1/2 later back to gate and unloaded. My colleges who were flying to Austin and Denver got a room at the pheonix airport Marriott. Last one. I tried to get a rental car and nothing.

I called me mom and turns out her car was at the airport with her keys in it, so I drove that home to St. George. 6 hours later I got home. I would have made it in 5.5 hours but the 15 freeway in Vegas had a fatality so the detour caused 1/2 hour delay.

Additionally, my cat was dying and I didn’t make it time to say by. I am really upset about that. I missed it by 3 hours.

What a cluster fuck

… Just heard the first real takeoff I have heard from the Lockheed Burbank Airport since all of this started… 1:12 AM Saturday morning… November something or other
