Flights at Redding Regional Airport were halted for hours Friday after the FAA issued a nationwide . The agency cited extraordinary circumstances and safety concerns related to an air traffic control issue, and told all departing aircraft to remain on the ground until further notice.

  • Grounded: a Denver departure and a San Francisco departure
  • Arrivals possibly affected: Los Angeles and Seattle
  • Next update: expected around 8 p.m. Friday

Solsvig said he expects major backups because Redding connects passengers to larger hub airports. Private planes and helicopters flying under visual flight rules can still operate, he added. IASCO Flight Training, the flight school at the airport, stopped all its flights because of the "unknown cause of the communications outage," Operations and Immigration Manager Miranda Vorhis said. Flying this weekend? We'd check with your airline before heading to the airport.
