ATLANTA — Delays have followed a ground stop Sunday at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport that had impacted departures from several regions of the U.S.
The ground stop appeared to lift just before 12:30 p.m., with the FAA removing it from a site that lists such events. It has been replaced by a listing for a “ground delay” for Delta flights departing from the contiguous U.S. within 1,200 nautical miles of Atlanta.
That is set to last until 3:59 p.m. A table showed the average expected delay for 1-2 p.m. as 35 minutes, 2-3 p.m. as 26 minutes and 3-4 p.m. as 11 minutes.
According to flight delays and cancellations data at FlightAware, Hartsfield-Jackson is not experiencing a wide rash of canceled flights, but there are now more than 450 delays — 251 into Atlanta are delayed as of around 1:15 p.m. and 203 out of Atlanta
