FAA Halts Departures from NYC

FAA Halts Departures from NYC Area, Philly and More

Update: FAA now clearing all aircraft from New York City airspace. Inbound Flights now diverting. It appears NYC area airports will now allow incoming aircraft.

As the coronavirus continues to spread rapidly in the United States, there is some disturbing news coming from the FAA. The Federal Aviation Administration is stopping all departures at all New York City area airports, Philadelphia, and others due to staffing issues related to the coronavirus.

For now the stop order on departures is from 5:45PM on Saturday March 21, until 3:00AM on Sunday March 22. That is not a very long halt, but it is probably a sign of things to come as the coronavirus pandemic continues to get worse.

You can see the list of airports in this tweet:

There are currently over 22,000 confirmed cases in the United States and over 10,000 of those cases are in New York. 278 deaths have been confirmed so far in the country.
