Flights were temporarily suspended at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on Sunday, 26 October 2025, leaving thousands of passengers stranded. According to official reports, the FAA-ordered ground stop began at 8:42 a.m. and although limited, operations gradually resumed nearly two hours after significant delays.
The sudden halt triggered widespread delays across the country, with many inbound flights to LAX running more than an hour and a half behind schedule. Moreover, departures bound for said airport were held at their originating airports while the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) tries to resolve the issues.
