Airlines canceled thousands more flights Saturday as they recovered from Friday's nationwide ground stop, but the FAA said schedules should be back to normal by the end of Sunday.
More than 5,000 U.S. flights had been canceled Saturday as of 2:48 p.m. ET, according to FlightAware, already past the top of the 4,000 to 5,000 that FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford predicted. Flight-tracking app Flighty said the outage has now caused more cancellations than the 2024 CrowdStrike software failure. "I do think the worst is behind us," Bedford said, and he apologized to travelers.
The FAA halted departures nationwide for more than four hours Friday, the longest ground stop since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. About 12,000 flights couldn't be completed, Bedford said.
