CLT airport issues ground stop due to weather Tuesday

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Weather is causing mutliple flights to be delayed at Charlotte Douglass International Airport and across parts of the country Tuesday morning.

A look of Charlotte’s departures list on the airport’s website shows about half of the flights with an estimated delay of 30 minutes or longer.

Thunderstorms and poor visibility have been the primary cause, the Federal Aviation Administration said. Flights at Boston, Orlando, Laguardia and other airports are also experiencing delays, according to the National Airspace System.
