FAA advisory affects flight from Capital Airport in Springfield

SPRINGFIELD, IL -- Ted and Lynn Amling of Springfield had tickets to see the Eagles concert at The Sphere in Las Vegas Nov. 14. The couple was booked on an afternoon flight on American Airlines out of Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport for Chicago when they got news about the the Federal Aviation Administration-issued nationwide ground stop for all flights in the U.S. Nov. 13. "There's nothing we can do," said Ted Amling, loading suitcases back into his car in the airport parking lot. "Hopefully, we'll make it tomorrow." More: Ground stop live updates: FAA grounds flights, stranding US travelers The FAA cited "extraordinary circumstances" and safety concerns related to an air traffic control issue. The FAA advisory was issued at 2:54 p.m. and was set to expire at 10:30 p.m. CST, although the directive called for all flights to remain grounded until further notice. The expiration time doesn't ensure flights will resume by then, either.
