The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a ground stop for all planes at the airport until 1:30 a.m. ET, according to a notice from the regulator.
The FAA notice showed that the reason for the halt at the airport was an emergency and there was a high probability of an extension, without specifying any details….
