A ground stoppage, often referred to as a ground delay program or ground stop, is an air traffic management initiative implemented by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The contractor responsible for managing or reporting on the ground stoppage was not identified. Furthermore, any outcomes of subsequent inspections or details regarding code violations or fines associated with the event were not provided.
