Departing Humboldt Flights Currently Grounded Amid Nationwide Air Control Outage

Humboldt County officials are urging those scheduled to fly out of the California Redwood Coast-Humboldt County Airport (ACV) to check with their airline after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issuing a nationwide ground stop. “There has been a temporary telecommunications outage — out of an abundance of caution all flights have been halted,” a post on the FAA’s X account states. “Every flight has been accounted for and international flights will be handled on a case by case basis.” The outage is currently impacting “all Air Route Traffic Control Centers,” according to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s X account. “FAA technicians are investigating the issue. We will provide immediate updates as we have them.” Humboldt County spokesperson Cati Gallardo said the county does not currently know when normal flight operations will resume.
