A nationwide ground stop has been issued for airports across the United States, leaving passengers facing uncertainty. Officials say some aircraft already in transit can land, while international services are being considered individually.
The US Federal Aviation Administration issued a nationwide ground stop for all US airports on the evening of 13 November 2026, Ireland’s Department of Transport has said.
The department understands that some flights already en route to the US are being allowed to land. US authorities are handling international flights on a case-by-case basis.
With the situation evolving, passengers due to travel to the US on Saturday 14 November are advised to check their flight’s status with their airline.
