CALGARY: Although the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has lifted its nationwide ground stop order, travelers flying to and from the United States may still experience residual flight delays, according to officials at Calgary International Airport (YYC). Air traffic across U.S. airspace resumed following a halt that lasted more than four hours due to a major communications outage at regional air traffic control centers.
While the ground stop is officially over, airport officials noted that clearing the backlog of grounded aircraft and restoring regular flight schedules will take time. As a result, flights heading to American destinations or passing through U.S. airspace could continue to face schedule adjustments and delays as airlines work to normalize operations.
The Calgary Airport Authority stated that airport staff and airline partners are working closely to assist affected passengers and minimize travel disruptions. Officials are strongly advising anyone scheduled to travel on U.S.-bound or transborder flights to check their flight status directly with their airline before heading to the airport.
