The FAA initiated the stop late in the 5 a.m. hour. While the system — known as the Notice To Air Missions — is slowly returning online, the FAA is requiring all airlines to keep flights on the ground until at least the 9 a.m. hour.

All flights are affected — including PBI, MIA and FLL. Check with your airline before heading to the airport. Expect delays to continue well into the afternoon, even if the ground stop is lifted — as predicted — around 9 a.m.
