(5:25 p.m., Nov. 13,, 2026): Kahului Airport on Maui avoided major impacts from the national ground stoppage on Friday, according to Marvin Moniz, Maui District Airports Manager for the State of Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation. Several flights were scheduled for the East Coast or beyond the West Coast Friday evening. Airport officials expected the flights to leave as scheduled because they were all en route to Hawaiʻi when the ground stoppage occurred. This includes flights to Dallas, Minneapolis, Phoenix, Denver, Altlanta and Salt Lake City. All are scheduled to leave this evening, according to Moniz. The FAA lifted the ground stoppage on Friday afternoon, about four hours after it was implemented due to “extraordinary circumstances and for safety,” according to Transportation officials. That was followed by a separate announcement involving the halt of west coast flights at around 1:55 p.m.

Airlines work to recover after nationwide ground stop cancels more than 2,000 flights

WASHINGTON | Airlines across the U.S. worked Saturday to recover from the longest nationwide ground stop in 25 years that canceled more than 2,000 flights, spread ripple effects around the world, stranded passengers and forced professional and college sports teams to scramble for alternate transportation. At Denver International Airport, 471 flights were cancelled and 603 were delayed as of late Friday, according to the FAA. Airport and FAA officials report that operations are normalizing today and that passengers should contact their airlines regarding specific cancellations or delays. Trump administration officials said new technology being added to the nation’s air traffic control system overloaded antiquated equipment and caused “intermittent” communications and radar gaps, leading to the flight shutdown of more than four hours. A limited number of domestic flights departed after the stop was lifted around 8:15 p.m. ET Friday.
