Update: The ground stop has been lifted, but if you’re traveling to or from Orlando International Airport today, delays are to be expected.
Although flying can be a part of the traveling experience, especially if you’re flying to Disney World or Disneyland, it can sometimes be a big hassle.
Not only do you have to deal with airport security (which can mean long lines), but you also have to deal with delays and cancellations, sometimes caused by weather, but also sometimes caused by other issues. However, when there’s a full ground stop at an airport, all flights are going to be delayed, and that’s what’s happening right now at Orlando International Airport.
A full ground stop has been issued for Orlando International Airport, as well as many other U.S. airports, due to an FAA equipment issue. That means that all flights are currently affected, as well as airline operations, flight schedules, and baggage delivery.
At the moment, the National Airspace System Status is estimating that the average flight delay at Orlando International Airport is already 60 minutes and increasing. So if you’re flying today, you’ll want to have your patience packed.
If you are flying today, you’ll want to make sure you have a way for your airline to contact you, either through notifications on the airline app or text messaging. You’ll also want to listen for important announcements if you’re already at the airport…
