Flights resume after ground stop issued at Chicago's Midway Airport

Flights resume at Chicago's Midway International Airport after a ground stop was issued due to a disabled aircraft on the runway, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

The ground stop was issued from 7:39 p.m. until 9 p.m. after a private plane slid onto the grass.

No further information, including how many people were aboard, was released. 

The ground stop comes after winter weather left hundreds of flights canceled during the weekend, with Sunday being the busiest travel day following the extended Thanksgiving weekend. 

On Saturday, Midway saw nearly 250 flights canceled due to the winter storm. Over at O'Hare, over 1,200 flights were canceled. 

As of Sunday night, 11 flights were canceled at Midway and 412 at O'Hare. A ground stop was also issued at O'Hare due to snow and ice. That has since been lifted.
