Ground stop at Hartsfield-Jackson ended but delays continue

Ground Stop Lifted at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) lifted the ground stop for departures at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. This followed an earlier halt due to severely low visibility conditions.

Ongoing Delays Despite Resumption

Although the ground stop has been lifted, flights continue to experience delays because of the persistent low visibility in the area. Travelers are advised to expect extended waiting times and check with their airlines for the latest updates.

"Fog reduced visibility significantly, impacting airport operations," the FAA noted, highlighting the challenge to keep flights on schedule.

Impact on Travelers

Passengers at ATL are encouraged to plan for delays and stay informed through official airport and airline channels. Weather conditions remain unpredictable, and safety remains the priority for all operations.


The FAA has ended the ground stop at ATL, but poor visibility still causes delays, emphasizing ongoing operational challenges at one of the world's busiest airports.
