Ground stop issued at BNA due to staffing shortages

Update: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a ground delay program for incoming flights to Nashville International Airport (BNA®) because of an air traffic control staffing shortage. Travelers are encouraged to check their flight status regularly and contact their airline for the latest updates.

_____

A ground stop is currently in effect at Nashville International Airport (BNA) after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) cited staffing shortages in the air-traffic control tower.

Departures are being held until the stop is lifted, and while the target for resuming departures is 2:45 p.m., officials say there is a medium possibility the delay could be extended if controller-staffing levels don’t stabilize.

While no official end time has been confirmed, operations will resume as soon as the FAA determines staffing meets minimum safe-levels. Stay alert for updates.

Vandy's band of misfits turns heads with 7-1 start

This is a story I immediately went home and showed my boys - young athletes with big dreams. The Vanderbilt football team's success has stolen the spotlight - what I love about Steve Layman's story is he reveals the individual hardships it took to get there. As Clark Lea says, "we all have scuff marks." This team proves perseverance pays off!
