FAA lifts ground stop after four hours, but flight cancellations will stretch into the weekend
CNBC reports that the FAA lifted a four-hour nationwide ground stop on November 13, 2026, which disrupted more than 10,000 flights after a temporary telecommunications outage hit multiple air traffic control centers, though the cause was not immediately clear. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said there was no indication of a threat to the United States, and more cancellations were expected into Saturday.
