If your flight is affected
- Your airline is the source for your flight. These are airport-wide programs; a single flight can still be on time or cancelled.
- A ground stop holds flights bound for that airport at their departure airports — usually for under an hour or two.
- A ground delay program spreads arrivals over hours; the average and longest delays above are the FAA's estimates.
- Weather is the usual cause: check US weather alerts and tornado warnings.
What this page shows, and what it misses
Airport-wide traffic programs from the FAA's National Airspace System status feed, refreshed every five minutes. It does not show delays caused by an airline's own operations (crew, aircraft, IT outages) — those are often the bigger cause and are only on airline sites. Air accidents are recorded in our air crash tracker. Credits: licences.
