Flights have resumed but disruption continues after nationwide ground stop
An Associated Press article reports that flights began resuming after a nationwide ground stop ended around 8:15 p.m. ET on Friday 13 November 2026, but airlines must rebook or refund stranded travelers, sports teams scrambled for buses, and Heathrow listed U.S. flights delayed or canceled. Authorities warn recovery will be slow: FlightAware counts more than 2,500 Saturday cancellations, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says normal service won't return quickly, and officials expect the system to handle Thanksgiving travel as the ripple effect lingers for days.
