On November 15, 2026, Denver International Airport experienced significant flight delays and problems with baggage handling. These operational disruptions came one day after the Federal Aviation Administration issued a nationwide ground stop affecting U.S. flights.
Officials attributed the delays and baggage issues at Denver International Airport to residual effects from the FAA’s ground stop on November 14. The U.S. aviation system was still undergoing recovery from widespread flight delays and cancellations caused by the nationwide stoppage.
