Hollywood Braces for Weekend Disruptions as FAA Grounds Flights Across U.S.
According to Variety on November 13, 2026, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grounded all flights in the United States due to extraordinary circumstances and safety reasons. This action, marking the most extensive disruption to U.S. air travel since the 9/11 attacks in 2001, has thrown travel plans into disarray for talent, executives, and industry buyers heading to events such as the Motion Picture Academy's Governors Awards and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Although the ground stop was lifted on Friday evening, hundreds of flights were canceled, leaving travelers scrambling to reorganize their schedules.
