- More than 4,400 flights were cancelled by Saturday afternoon.
- Stranded travellers faced missed events and costly overnight stays.

## Summary

A nationwide FAA ground stop halted US air travel for four hours on Friday, and disruption continued after it was lifted at 8.15pm. By Saturday afternoon, thousands of passengers were still stranded, missing family events and facing uncertainty about when they could travel.

There were 4,467 cancellations and 4,430 delays across the US. New York’s JFK reported 280 cancellations and 202 delays, while LaGuardia had 193 cancellations and Newark 223. Some travellers slept at airports because hotels cost up to $550 a night, and airlines were not offering hotel vouchers because the grounding was a government decision.
