A ground stop by the Federal Aviation Administration that has since been lifted was continuing to impact flights at Palm Springs International Airport Sunday.
“Arrivals and departures are operating, though delays are still expected today, and possibly through 1/6/26, as the FAA continues to make repairs and airlines work through remaining impacts,” airport officials said Sunday.
The airport announced on Saturday that departing flights were not operating due to a ground stop.
“Aircraft have been able to arrive, though some inbound flights have diverted, and delays and schedule disruptions are expected. This issue is not specific to PSP and is affecting multiple Southern California airports.”
At about 4 p.m. Saturday the airport sent out an update announcing that departures and arrivals would begin to slowly resume, though delays were expected to continue “as operations normalize.”
Travelers were advised to continue monitoring their flight status directly with their airline.
The reason for the ground stop was not immediately clear.
