Salt Lake City airport halts all flights amid rare nationwide ground stop
The Salt Lake Tribune reports the FAA issued a rare nationwide ground stop, halting all flights including at Salt Lake City International Airport, after Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy cited a communication issue affecting air traffic control centers — the first such stop since 2023. Airport spokesperson Nancy Volmer said the airport activated its emergency operations center, while traveler Tom Kenworthy said he was renting a car and driving back to Colorado.
