The Federal Aviation Administration implemented a ground stop at Chicago O’Hare International Airport today that lasted close to two hours, resulting in the highest number of flight cancellations worldwide.

This disruption caused a sharp rise in cancellations and delays not only at O’Hare but also at other connected airports across the United States.

Travelers at O’Hare and related airports encountered extensive flight cancellations and delays throughout the day. Those with travel plans involving these airports should verify their flight status with their carriers.
