## Summary

Duffy said the recovery from Friday’s nationwide FAA ground stop should be complete by the end of Monday at the latest, offering a timeline for passengers facing ongoing disruption. He said airlines should be operating at full capacity by the end of Sunday or Monday as they restore schedules.
