On June 24, 2026, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) implemented ground stops at several significant airports across the United States and Canada. This coordinated effort took place across key locations in both countries affecting numerous flights throughout the day.

The ground stops resulted in widespread disruptions, with thousands of flights delayed or canceled impacting a range of airlines and routes. Travelers experienced considerable interruptions to their scheduled plans as the FAA restrictions constrained airport operations across multiple major hubs.
