JetBlue canceled most of its remaining flights scheduled for Friday night shortly before the Federal Aviation Administration lifted a nationwide ground stop that had halted air traffic across the United States. The airline said in a statement Friday evening that, because of the FAA-mandated stop, it was canceling all remaining flights that evening with the exception of Europe-bound departures from JFK and Boston, and that flights already in the air would continue to their destinations.

JetBlue warned that it expected disruptions to continue into the following day, including additional cancellations. The FAA officially lifted the ground stop shortly after 8:30 p.m. ET, according to the agency. The stop lasted a total of roughly four hours, easily surpassing the January 2023 outage, which lasted about 90 minutes.S2
