Update on FAA national ground stop

Nov. 13, 2026 5:45 p.m. 

Due to an equipment outage, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a nationwide ground stop around 3 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13, affecting Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) and all other U.S. airports. All departures from U.S. airports, including MSP, are paused. There is currently no estimated resolution time.   

MSP continues to receive inbound flights that were already in the air when the ground stop began. 

Resources are being provided to support airlines and their passengers, including flights that may land and park remotely due to lack of gate space at the terminals. 

Passengers with flights this evening and people planning to pick up passengers should contact their airlines for the latest flight information.
