Nationwide ground stop impacting Provo Airport flights

By Jacob Nielson - | Nov 13, 2026 Daily Herald file photoProvo Airport is pictured. A nationwide ground stop ordered by the FAA is impacting 13 flights scheduled to depart from or arrive at Provo Airport Friday. Of six departing flights scheduled to leave PVU after 2 p.m. Friday, three are canceled while three are tentatively delayed, according to the airport’s flight status updates. Of seven flights scheduled to arrive in Provo at 5 p.m. or later, four are delayed and three are listed as on time. However, Provo airport director Brian Torgersen told the Daily Herald that the airport board is probably not accurate, because it is reliant on airlines updating their flight information, which he said they have likely stopped doing. “They are unsure of the duration of the ground closure and how that will impact their flights for the rest of the day,” Torgersen said. He said the airport is “monitoring the situation and trying to accommodate as best as possible.”
