Qatar Airways Warns of Possible US Flight Delays After Nationwide Ground Stop Lifted
Qatar Airways warned on Saturday, 14 November 2026, that passengers travelling to or from the United States could experience flight delays or disruptions following a temporary nationwide ground stop in the US the previous day.
In a travel alert updated at 6:22 AM Doha time, the airline advised passengers to check the latest status of their flights through the Qatar Airways website or mobile app before heading to the airport.
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) imposed the nationwide ground stop on Friday, 13 November, after communication problems affected several air route traffic control centres. An FAA operational advisory issued on Saturday confirmed that the nationwide ground stop had been cancelled, allowing departures to resume.
Although the nationwide restriction has ended, passengers may still encounter disruption to flight schedules. Qatar Airways did not identify specific cancelled flights or provide an estimated time for normal operations to be fully restored in its advisory.
