The words "national ground stop" are quoted a few times in the article. If that terminology got back to various airline dispatchers, it may have been more broad than a few airports.
- Retric 5y agoThat’s what a specific airport heard but, “Other West Coast airports contacted by CNN said they were unaware of the order.”
- tyingq 5y agoSure. Airlines will hold flights, though, on input/direction from other than a specific airport.
- Retric 5y agoThe original article makes it seem like a very local event from “a regional air traffic control facility” mentioning a few individual conversations with pilots. I guess in theory pilots could have said something to their airlines but that’s not a big window for the airlines to actually do anything. https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/11/business/faa-ground-stop-norad-north-korea/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/11/business/faa-ground-stop-nora...
- AceyMan 5y agoIt's possible that controller may have just misspoken or been fed words from another controller and said 'national' when in fact it was for the west coast centers (ARTCC) only (Los Angeles, Oakland).
- beerandt 5y agoOne of the quoted GA pilots told to land in another story was in Oregon, iirc.
