NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has implemented a ground delay program for incoming flights to Nashville International Airport (BNA) due to a staffing shortage in air traffic control.
Originally, a full ground stop was issued. However, at 12:03 p.m. CST the agency modified the stop to a delay.
Travelers are advised to monitor their flight status and contact their airline for updates as operations return toward normal.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
