All JetBlue flights grounded by FAA after airline asks it to, agency says

The Federal Aviation Administration has grounded all JetBlue flights due to a request from the airline, the agency said in ⁠a notice on Tuesday.

The ground stop impacts flights to all destinations, according to the advisory.

It wasn’t immediately clear why JetBlue requested the ground stop or how long it would last.

CBS News has reached out to JetBlue and the FAA for more information.

The airline is headquartered in New York City and its flagship terminal is at the city’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.

In the past, the FAA has issued ground stops for security threats or IT outages, among other reasons.
