It’s unclear how long the ground stop will last, though the FAA suggested an update would be available by 5 a.m. Their grounding comes after a significant Microsoft outage brought Frontier Airlines to a standstill for hours on Thursday – though the ground stop for those airlines has since been lifted. The FAA also announced Friday morning all Allegiant flights would be grounded.
