U.S. Flights Resume After FAA Lifts Nationwide Ground Stop, But Delays Persist

The FAA has lifted its nationwide ground stop on U.S. flights, but delays and cancellations are still accumulating, and some college football games have been delayed, according to two center-rated outlets.

Friday’s nationwide ground stop issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has led to some changes in Saturday's schedule for several college football games across the country. The nationwide grounding began at around 4 p.m. Friday’s nationwide air travel “ground stop,” which halted domestic flights for several hours, was finally lifted.

But the ramifications are still being felt for families, travelers, and teams in the sporting world. The Sporting News is tracking live updates as the sports world scrambles to play games after the FAA's ground stop order ahead of a busy weekend across the NFL, NBA, NHL and college football.

The Hill reported the story as "FAA ground stop leads to multiple delays, postponements in college football."
