(Nov. 13, 2026) — At 4:09 p.m. EST, Fox News’s Jonathan Hunt reported that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an order for a “national ground stop” of all flights due to “extraordinary circumstances.”
Flights coming in from overseas, Hunt reported, will be evaluated for landing “on a case-by-case basis.”
The last time such an order was issued was 2023, Hunt said in response to a question from “The Will Cain Show” host Will Cain, and only the second occurrence since the events of September 11, 2001.
The concern at hand, Hunt said, is “safety.”
The FAA website does not appear to have posted the order as of this writing.
At 4:21, Hunt reported that Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy posted on his X account that a “communication issue” arose leading to the ground-stop order.
This is a developing story.
