On June 24, 2026, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued ground stops affecting multiple major airports across the United States and Canada. This measure has led to widespread operational disruption throughout the day.

These FAA-imposed ground stops have resulted in thousands of flight delays and cancellations across a broad array of airline carriers and routes. The disruptions have significantly affected airline schedules and caused interruptions at key airport hubs in both countries.

flights encompasses diverse airlines and destinations across North America.

The FAA has not released detailed information regarding which specific airports are included or the precise reasons behind the ground stops.
