The Federal Aviation Administration issued the rare order Friday afternoon, temporarily halting air travel across the United States for the second time since 9/11. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and other officials attributed the stoppage to a communications issue. Its cause was unknown at the time of publication.
CNN reported that Mullin said the government had “not discussed any timeframe” for ending the ground stop. “It’s going to take some time,” he said, adding that it would not be “resolved and turned around within the hour.”
A nationwide ground stop in 2023 lasted about 90 minutes. Mullin’s comments suggested the current disruption could take longer, though officials had not provided an expected end time.
