On June 13, 2026, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) imposed ground stops impacting six primary American Airlines hubs across the United States. These measures brought significant operational halts at these major airports.

The ground stops directly contributed to American Airlines recording the highest volume of flight cancellations globally on that day. Passengers at these six hubs faced widespread delays and cancellations, disrupting travel plans nationwide.
