Follow-Up: Sky Harbor Still Reeling from Ground Stop; American Cancels 93 Flights on Nov. 14, Lawmaker Demands Duffy Testify
The aftereffects of the Federal Aviation Administration's nationwide ground stop on November 13 continued at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport on November 14. American Airlines, the largest airline at Sky Harbor, warned on November 14 that delays and cancellations would continue across its network; as of 12:25 p.m. on November 14, American had canceled 93 flights and delayed 47 at Sky Harbor. Flight tracking website FlightAware showed that later in the morning of November 14, delayed flights at Sky Harbor had outnumbered canceled flights, with 216 delays and 162 cancellations; the airport's flight information screens showed a total of 287 flights affected that day, including 213 delays, 73 cancellations, and 1 diversion. Some stranded passengers spent the night of November 13 on cots near the gates. Arizona Congressman Greg Stanton on November 14 demanded that Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy testify under oath to explain the cause of the ground stop; Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego said flights at Sky Harbor had resumed. Duffy said on the morning of November 14 that the ground stop stemmed from a failure when a contractor replaced copper communications lines with fiber optics, and that L3Harris is assisting the FAA with the investigation.
