What changed
On November 6, the FAA increased projected average ground-stop delays for flights arriving at John F. Kennedy International Airport from 40 to 118 minutes because of thunderstorms.
Does this affect me?
Passengers traveling to JFK from departure facilities covered by the FAA ground stop, including flights departing from air traffic control facilities managed by Washington Center and Cleveland Center. Travelers with onward connections may also be affected by delayed arrivals.
What should I do?
Check your flight's latest departure time and connection status directly with your airline before traveling to the departure airport. Follow subsequent airline and FAA updates because the restriction and projected delays may change. The 118-minute figure is a program-wide projected average, not a confirmed delay for every flight.
