What to know about flights after the US nationwide ground stop
The AP explains the aftermath of the November 13, 2026 US nationwide ground stop — the longest flight stoppage in 25 years, which lasted over four hours — including cancellation figures, airlines' rebooking obligations, and officials' accounts of excess data flooding air traffic control from radar and communications sites in Texas and Arkansas. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is pressing Congress for $30 billion more to complete air traffic control modernization, while officials expect schedules to fully recover by Sunday, ahead of Thanksgiving travel.
