U.S. flights resume after FAA ground stop, but travel chaos continues

U.S. flights began resuming after the Federal Aviation Administration lifted a nationwide ground stop, though delays and cancellations continued to mount across the system. The disruption followed the FAA's decision to halt departures, and carriers are now working through backlogs that could take days to clear. Travelers should expect lingering schedule gaps as airlines reposition aircraft and crews. The episode highlights how quickly a single system-wide directive can cascade through U.S. aviation, putting pressure on carriers already managing tight turnaround times. What to watch next: how fast the FAA and airlines restore normal operations and whether residual delays persist into the coming days.
