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

No take-offs from O'Hare for more than two hours, Flightradar24 data shows

No flights have left Chicago O'Hare in more than two hours, according to Flightradar24 data reported by CNN.

CNN reports that the last recorded take-offs at JFK and Reagan National were at 3.35pm ET. Several other major airports had seen no departures since before 4pm ET, according to a Flightradar24 post at 5.25pm ET cited by CNN.

This adds a take-off record to the earlier count from the flight tracking app Flighty, reported by TheStreet, of at least 114 aircraft on the ground at O'Hare.

The figures come from a flight tracking service and not from the FAA. They have not been independently checked.
