Alaska Airlines has ordered an immediate ground stop for all of its mainline aircraft, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said Sunday, halting flights across the country in a move that has left passengers stranded and flights suspended from coast to coast.
The FAA's status page confirmed the airline’s request to ground all mainline flights nationwide, though the reason for the emergency action was not immediately disclosed. The airline operates a significant portion of flights across the western United States, Alaska, and the Pacific Northwest.
