Expert weighs in on nationwide FAA ground stop | FOX 10 Phoenix

A nationwide ground stop took effect just before two o'clock Arizona time, halting departing air traffic across the country with no sign it will lift anytime soon. Michael O'Donnell, president and founder of O'Donnell Aerospace Consulting and a seasoned aerospace executive with over 40 years of leadership in commercial space and aviation, joins the coverage to examine the situation. In its latest post to X, the FAA stated there was a "temporary telecommunications outage" and out of an abundance of caution, all flights have been halted. An initial advisory posted on Friday stated: "Due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety. Attention all aircraft operators, by order of the Federal Aviation Command Center, all airports are ground stopped. All departing traffic should remain ground stopped until further notice. Inbound international flights will be managed on a case-by-case basis."
