ARLINGTON, Va. — The ground stop that halted flights into and out of Ronald Reagan National Airport DCA Wednesday has been lifted, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
A ground delay followed the ground stop warning, with an average delay of 32 minutes expected for all flights going through DCA until 11 p.m.
“DCA is in a ground delay because of military activities,” was the FAA response when asked about what caused the delays.
The airport authority’s National Airspace System Status indicates that the ground stop and ground delay at Reagan were both “due to security.”
The ground stop was issued at 1:43 p.m. on Wednesday and had been scheduled to stay in place until around 3 p.m. The ground delay was issued at 2:15.
Other area airports, such as Washington Dulles (IAD) and Baltimore / Washington (BWI), did not appear to be impacted and had a regular flight schedule on Wednesday afternoon.
