The FAA imposed the nationwide ground stop on November 13, 2026, after a communications outage disrupted multiple Air Route Traffic Control Centers that manage en route traffic. Officials from the Departments of Transportation and Homeland Security stated the issue stems from a temporary telecommunications failure with no indications of a cyber attack or malicious act, prompting FAA technicians to investigate while airborne flights continue and international arrivals receive case-by-case handling. This marks only the second such halt since 9/11, following a 2023 NOTAM system outage that resolved within roughly 90 minutes. Trader consensus on rapid restoration reflects the technical rather than security-driven nature of the problem, alongside expectations that system checks and any required restarts could enable resumption within hours, though delays remain possible if diagnostics extend.
Rules
The FAA issued a nationwide ground stop for flights departing U.S. airports on November 13, 2026 (see: https://www.cnn.com/2026/11/13/us/faa-nationwide-ground-stop). This market will resolve to “Yes” if the FAA, the U.S. Department of Transportation, or their authorized representatives officially announce that this nationwide ground stop is no longer in effect between market creation and the listed date and time (inclusive of the listed minute). Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. A qualifying announcement must communicate that the nationwide (all-airports) ground stop is cancelled or otherwise no longer in effect, including where it is replaced by narrower ground stops or other traffic management initiatives at individual airports or regions. Announcements that the ground stop is lifted for, or does not affect, specific airports, regions, or flights while the nationwide ground stop remains in effect will not count. An announcement that the ground stop will end at a future time will not qualify until its effective time. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the FAA & the Department of Transportation; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
