Salt Lake City International Airport is still dealing with the effects of Friday’s nationwide, hours-long ground stop ordered by the Federal Aviation Administration.

An hour after the ground stop was lifted around 6:28 p.m. Friday, the airport was facing over a 100 cancellations and delays, Director of Public Relations & Marketing Nancy Volmer said.

As of 11 a.m. Saturday, there were still 43 delayed and 10 cancelled flights at Utah’s principal and busiest airport. Volmer said about 65 flights made it out last night and then some more earlier this morning.

Airport operations are running as they should, Volmer said, although travelers should still expect long lines at airline front desks.

“TSA lines have been running smoothly all morning,” Volmer wrote in a text.

Travelers are also advised to contact their airline and ask about the status of their flights before showing up to the airport, she added.

Volmer also said a few travelers slept over at the airport, and operations staff handed out pillows and blankets. Some shops stayed open past their usual hours so passengers could get food throughout the night, according to Volmer.

During a White House news conference yesterday, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the issues with the radar and communications systems were due to faulty equipment and outdated technology.

At a press conference this morning, Federal Aviation Administration Administrator Bryan Bedford said they are still analyzing the root cause of the problem, adding that there’s “zero evidence of anything nefarious.”

Stranded passengers, long lines and continuous delays are still being reported across the United States today.

South Jordan resident Michelle Peterson was one of the passengers whose flight departed from Salt Lake City last night after several hours waiting at the airport. Peterson’s flight to New York, originally scheduled for 2:10 p.m., made it out at 8:14 pm, over an hour after the ground stop ended.

“We were totally boarded and just getting ready to go, and then they just said that there was a nationwide grounding,” she said. “We just thought it would be kind of a really quick thing.”

Peterson was traveling to New York to meet her son who was flying from Denver and, as of last night, was still in line to drop off his bags. In the airplane, passengers sitting next to Peterson were clapping when their departure was announced.

Beyond spending “a lot of money on random snacks” at the airport, Peterson said she just passed the hours waiting despite the lack of information.

“Everybody’s just hustling to get on because they told us we need to board kind of quickly so that we can get where we need to be as soon as possible, and everybody just seems really excited to get out of here,” she said.
