WASHINGTON — A ground stop at all DC-are airports has lifted after thunderstorms moved through the area Friday, according to the FAA.
Flights at Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), Dulles International Airport (IAD) and Reagan National Airport (DCA) were all under a ground stop due to the storm.
All three airports are now in the clear as the ground stop has been lifted.
According to the National Business Aviation Association, a ground stop is implemented when air traffic control is unable to safely accommodate aircraft. They are most commonly used in cases of severe weather, major equipment outages and catastrophic events.
Anyone wondering about flight statuses should check with their airline for the latest updates.
