PHOENIX — A ground stop was issued for flights at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport on Tuesday morning.
According to an advisory from the Federal Aviation Administration, a weather-related ground stop was effective for departures "due to low ceilings."
The advisory applied to departures from select areas and expired around 8:30 a.m.
According to Sky Harbor's website, there have been dozens of delayed flights, but only a couple of cancellations.
Aside from Tuesday's ground stop, Sky Harbor has been the site of some lengthy security lines due to spring break travel and TSA-related issues nationwide amid an ongoing partial government shutdown.
Lines at security checkpoints stretched for more than an hour at airports across the country over the weekend.
The department, which oversees the Transportation Security Administration, posted photos of long lines on its social media pages.
