From: FAA grounds all flights at US airports, citing 'extraordinary circumstances'

Heathrow to New York JFK flight cancelled after US ground stop, reports say

A 10.30pm flight from London Heathrow to New York JFK has been cancelled within minutes of the FAA's nationwide ground stop, according to Brit Brief and JOE.ie.

It is the first reported cancellation of a UK departure linked to the stop, which the FAA imposed on Friday 13 November. Neither outlet names the airline, and there is no confirmation yet from Heathrow or any carrier. The report has not been independently checked.

JOE.ie says more cancellations of UK to US flights are likely to follow.

The same outlet, citing FlightAware, says around 7,000 flights have been delayed or cancelled. It adds that Flightradar24 is showing no take-offs in the US and has placed US airports at the top of its airport disruption index.
