Airport Delays and Closures (FAA)

What the FAA is reporting right now for US airports: ground stops (flights held at their origin), ground delay programs, general arrival and departure delays, and closures. Leave the box empty to see every airport with a problem, or enter a 3-letter code such as ATL or JFK. A quiet airport simply has no entry. FAA data as of Thu Oct 15 01:38:37 2026 GMT.

How to use this page (what the terms mean)

Ground stop: flights bound for that airport are held at the airports they leave from until the stop ends. The end time shown is the FAA's estimate and often gets extended.
Ground delay program: departures toward the airport are spaced out. Average and maximum delays are shown.
Arrival or departure delay: general delays, with a trend (increasing or decreasing).
Closure: an airport or runway is closed. The text is the FAA's own notice, usually in abbreviations.
Reason codes: WX means weather, MIT means miles-in-trail (aircraft spaced further apart), TM means traffic management. Plain words such as “thunderstorms” are what they sound like.
One airport: enter its 3-letter code, with or without the leading K (ATL or KATL). Nothing listed means the FAA reports no programs there right now. Leave the box empty to see every airport with a problem.
Timing: this page copies the FAA's feed at most every 3 minutes. The “FAA data as of” time is the FAA's own. For flights already in the air, or last week's delays, use the sources page.
