What FAA delay types mean

Ground stop

A ground stop halts departures headed to the affected airport — aircraft bound for it are held on the ground at their origin until the stop is lifted. It is the FAA's most severe traffic-management action short of a closure, typically issued for thunderstorms over the field, very low visibility, or acute congestion, and usually lasts under an hour at a time (though it may be extended).

Ground Delay Program (GDP)

A GDP slows the arrival rate rather than stopping it: flights to the affected airport are assigned later departure times at their origin, metering demand to what the airport can actually accept. GDPs are the workhorse response to sustained weather or capacity problems and often run for several hours, with average delays published by the FAA.

Arrival and departure delays

These report how far behind traffic actually is — average taxi-out or airborne-holding delays at the airport, usually as a range with a trend (increasing, decreasing, static). They frequently accompany a GDP or appear as weather builds before the FAA escalates to one.

Airport closure

The airport (or a runway complex significant enough to list) is closed to operations — from snow removal or a disabled aircraft to a security event. Closures are published with an effective window in the FAA feed and are rare at major airports.

FAA advisories

Free-form NOTAM-style advisories cover everything else worth knowing — runway configuration changes, equipment outages, deicing operations, or special-event traffic procedures. They don't necessarily mean delays, but they explain conditions at the airport.

FAA delays FAQ

What's the difference between a ground stop and a ground delay program?

A ground stop halts departures to the airport entirely; a ground delay program lets them depart but on delayed, metered schedules. Stops are short and severe; GDPs are longer and gentler. A stop often transitions into a GDP as conditions improve.

How often does this page update?

The FAA NAS Status feed is checked about every two minutes, and the timestamps above show both the FAA's latest update and our last check.

The FAA shows a delay but my flight is on time — why?

FAA events describe the airport's traffic management, not every flight. Airlines rebook, swap aircraft, and build schedule padding, so an individual flight can run on time through a GDP — or be delayed with no FAA event at all for crew or mechanical reasons.

⚠️ FAA delay status is provided for situational awareness only. Always verify with official FAA sources, your airline, dispatch, or flight service before making operational decisions.
