FAA ground stop could complicate travel for three NFL teams
Developing story first seen 31 minutes ago
New coverage highlights the potential knock-on effect of Friday’s nationwide FAA ground stop on NFL teams due to travel for Week 10 games. If the disruption continues into Saturday, the Rams, 49ers and Chargers could face difficult journeys, though the NFL has announced no schedule changes.
The FAA issued the stop after a communications issue affected air traffic control centres across the US, and technicians are investigating. The Rams are scheduled to fly to Arizona on Saturday; the roughly 390-mile drive to their Sunday game could take six to seven hours. The 49ers are due to travel to Dallas and the Chargers to Baltimore, while the league says it is too early to decide whether action is needed.
