FAA Status at 12:03 a.m. Eastern on November 10: No Ground Stops Nationwide as Ground Delay Programs Run at Las Vegas, Seattle and San Diego
WASHINGTON — As of the Federal Aviation Administration National Airspace System status update checked at 12:03 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday, November 10, no airport in the United States was under a ground stop and no US airport was closed by the FAA. Three ground delay programs were in effect, with reasons reported by the FAA including airport volume and weather wind. Everywhere else in the United States, flights were moving without FAA-reported delays.
The three programs were at Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport in Nevada, averaging 37 minutes with a maximum delay of 1 hour and 20 minutes and no reason given; Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in Washington state, averaging 1 hour and 7 minutes with a maximum delay of 1 hour and 52 minutes and no reason given; and San Diego International Airport in California, averaging 22 minutes with a maximum delay of 1 hour and 23 minutes due to airport volume. Under a ground delay program, arrivals are metered, with each inbound flight given a later departure time so the airport receives only what it can land.
One further airport was running late by more than 15 minutes: LaGuardia Airport in New York City, with delays of 31 to 45 minutes and increasing. The status page explains that a ground stop means flights headed to an airport do not take off at all until it lifts, while a plain delay is a single flow slowing down without a program, which the FAA reports once the average passes 15 minutes.
