Detailed summary
The FAA shut down all air traffic due to "extraordinary circumstances" on Friday. The ground stop has since been lifted, but travel chaos will ensue.
Riley Alexis Holmes arrived at New York's Kennedy Airport on Friday evening with a ticket to Oregon, where she has plans to see her brother's closing night in the musical "Trolls Junior." First, she got word that her 6 p.m. flight was delayed almost two hours. Then came the news that it was canceled.
