FAA Halts Flights at a 3 DC Airports

by

Four airports serving Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Richmond, Virginia, halted all flights Friday evening for longer than an hour because of a strong chemical smell that was impeding air traffic controllers, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

The ground stop affected Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Washington Dulles International Airport, Baltimore-Washington International Airport and Richmond International Airport, FAA Secretary Sean Duffy announced on social media. The declaration caused flight delays to soar to roughly two hours across some of the busiest airports in the country.
