Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - LONDON — Travelers flying between the United Kingdom and the United States have been warned to expect further disruption despite the resumption of US flights following a nationwide ground stop that brought air traffic to a halt for more than four hours Friday.
The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said passengers could continue to face delays and cancellations as airlines work to clear the backlog and rebook travelers affected by the unprecedented disruption.
The regulator advised passengers scheduled to fly between the UK and the US to check directly with their airlines for the latest flight information before traveling to the airport.
British Airways warned that some services could experience delays, while a spokesperson for Manchester Airport said the airport was not anticipating any "significant" disruption.
Meanwhile, Irish airline Aer Lingus said its flights already en route to the United States would be permitted to land, although flights scheduled to depart the country remained on hold.
The disruption followed a rare nationwide ground stop imposed by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Friday, suspending all departing flights across the country for more than four hours.
The shutdown was the longest interruption to US airspace operations since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The FAA lifted the ground stop later Friday evening, allowing flights to resume.
However, the widespread suspension left airlines facing substantial operational challenges, with delays and cancellations continuing to affect services on both sides of the Atlantic.
Airlines are now working to restore normal schedules and accommodate passengers whose travel plans were disrupted.
