413 flights are currently delayed from leaving PHX, with the number actively climbing. The profound impact on travel comes as all flights across the United States have been grounded due to “extraordinary circumstances and reasons of safety,” as cited by the FAA.
All airports across the country are affected, with no specific lift time designated at this time.
Airline companies have alerted customers affected by the order. American Airlines stated that they “are working to get customers on the way as quickly as possible.”

The last time a full ground stop was ordered was in January of 2023 due to a FAA system outage, and regular operations resumed within a few hours. The last prior similar incident occurred on September 11, 2001 upon the devastating attacks.
