What happened
AI-written · may contain mistakes. Written from the advisory text and weather only.
Cause: Too many flights were bunched into the busy airspace around the airport, so air traffic control paused departures to ease the crowding. Clear skies were not the cause.
The ground stop began at 21:46 UTC on November 8, 2026, holding departures from several air traffic control centers. At 21:55 UTC it widened to include two more centers. It ended at 22:56 UTC, lasting 1 hour 10 minutes.
