Urgent Service Update – FAA Lifts the Nationwide Ground Stop For All U.S. Airports

What this means for your shipments

• Departures and arrivals that were held during the ground stop are being rescheduled, and some shipments may move later than originally planned.
• Carriers are working through a backlog of passengers, aircraft and cargo, so capacity on some routes may be limited in the coming days.
• Aircraft and crew positioning may be out of sequence, which can cause further delays or cancellations even after flights resume.
• Connections through U.S. gateways may be affected, including shipments with onward transit within or beyond the United States.
• Delivery dates and cut-off times for shipments booked in the affected period may change. Revised estimates will be shared as carriers confirm them.

What Crane is doing

• Working with carriers to rebook affected shipments onto the earliest available flights.
  
• Prioritizing shipments by service level and delivery commitments, in consultation with clients where options involve trade-offs. 
• Monitoring FAA and carrier notices and updating shipment status and estimated arrival times as new information is confirmed.
• Reviewing alternative routings and gateways where they can reduce delay.
