Travelers at JFK and LaGuardia in New York and Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey faced delays and cancellations Saturday, November 14, as airlines recovered from Friday’s nationwide ground stop.

Nearly 2,000 flights had been canceled across the United States by Saturday morning, ABC7 New York reported.

The Federal Aviation Administration lifted the ground stop shortly after 8 p.m. Eastern time Friday. A communications outage had disrupted air traffic control, prompting the FAA to halt departures nationwide.
