WASHINGTON (AP) — More than 2,000 flights were canceled Saturday as airlines across the U.S. worked to dig out from the longest nationwide ground stop in 25 years, which stranded passengers and forced professional and college sports teams to scramble for alternate transportation.
Sky Harbor Airport was among the airports affected by the ground stop.
On Friday afternoon, spokesperson Greg Roybal stated in an email that airport officials "strongly recommend passengers and people picking up loved ones confirm their flight status with their airline before heading to the airport to be apprised of updates impacting their flights."
