BIRMINGHAM– Travelers flying through Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport should check with their airlines following a nationwide ground stop Friday, Nov. 13.
Airport officials warned that delays could continue into the evening and possibly into the weekend. However, the duration of those disruptions depends on how long the ground stop lasts.
In its Nov. 13 statement, the airport said the Federal Aviation Administration order affected all airlines at U.S. airports.
Meanwhile, BHM officials said they were monitoring the situation and maintaining close contact with airline and air traffic control partners. The airport also said the FAA was working to resolve the issue.
Travelers with afternoon or evening flights should stay in contact with their airlines for the latest flight-specific information. Because schedules can change, passengers should confirm their flight status before heading to the airport.
BHM also said it would provide additional information as updates become available. Travelers can follow the FAA’s National Airspace System status page for broader air traffic updates.
