The Federal Aviation Administration just lifted a nationwide ground stop for Alaska Airlines.
Late Wednesday morning, the FAA issued an advisory stating that Alaska Airlines was in a full nationwide ground stop. The advisory reads that "all Alaska mainline ... flights ground stopped."
A second advisory corrected that it didn't include flights at Horizon or SkyWest, Alaska's regional affiliates.
Alaska told TPG:
That issue has now been resolved.
There were anecdotal reports of some delays at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). The carrier is based in Seattle, and that airport is its largest hub.
In fact, some delays and cancellations were showing up on FlightAware this morning.
