Ground stop lifted at Philadelphia International Airport after cloud cover impacted flights
Heavy, low cloud cover led to a ground stop being issued for arriving flights at Philadelphia International Airport on Tuesday morning, the airport said on social media.
The ground stop was lifted by 9:20 a.m., the airport's X account said.
The airport said passengers should check with their airline for the latest information. Weather conditions later on Tuesday could continue to impact travel.
A ground stop for arriving flights means planes already in the air will have to circle around until conditions clear, or potentially divert to another airport.
The Federal Aviation Administration said all inbound flights to the city were being held at their origin point until 9:15 a.m.
As of 9:30 a.m., 50 flights in and out of PHL were delayed and 10 were canceled, FlightAware's tracker showed.
