Hundreds of flights delayed, canceled in South Florida after airport ground stop
A telecommunications outage prompted the Federal Aviation Administration to issue a ground stop at airports across the country on Friday, halting flights from taking off and creating hours of delays for travelers. Incoming flights to Miami and Fort Lauderdale weren’t affected, but departures were halted for more than four hours. As of Friday night, nearly 800 flights at South Florida’s two major airports were delayed and more than 275 were canceled. The ground stop may be over, but the delays will continue for a while. “The nationwide FAA ground stop has been lifted, and airlines are working to resume normal schedules. Travelers should still check directly with their airline for the most up-to-date flight status,” said Greg Chin, communications director for Miami-Dade Aviation Department. Within an hour after the ground stop lifted, activity at MIA picked up. Terminals started filling as travelers bolted down the corridors again with one hand rolling their luggage. Restaurants and bars emptied out. And at the American Airlines ticket area, a single line of over 120 people formed. The ground stop was lifted around 8:15 p.m., but getting flights back in the air and figuring out what happened won’t be immediate, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean

The Underline's bike and walk trail is complete. It's named after a billionaire
Nearly eight years after groundbreaking, The Underline is celebrating a new milestone: the completion of its 10-mile, bike-and-walk path, named after a buzzy billionaire whose moniker seems to be taking over Miami. The Kenneth C. Griffin Urban Trail is the latest installment of the 120-acre urban park, which runs under Metrorail tracks and has been under construction since 2018. The stretch, which runs from Brickell to Dadeland, combines pedestrian and cycling trails with micro-forests, jungle gyms, public art and wellness classes. Some of those amenities remain under construction, according to Underline officials, who say the park will reach its finished form in early 2027. For now, cyclists and runners can enjoy an uninterrupted trek along the corridor sans dust, bright orange traffic cones or safety barricades. It was “some crazy idea that took this underutilized, forgotten space and turned it into something that is truly iconic,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava at Thursday’s ribbon-cutting ceremony for the trail in Coral Gables. She was joined by county parks and transportation leaders, officials from the cities of Miami and Coral Gables, South Florida philanthropists, nonprofit Friends of The Underline and dozens of the park’s team members. “I hope that it

Patients with 3 health insurance plans lose access to Miami health network
The University of Miami Health System announced it will no longer accept three Medicare Advantage plans next year, requiring patients to find new insurance coverage or doctors to get in-network care. As thousands of people in South Florida review their health insurance plans during open enrollment, UHealth says Aetna, Preferred Care Network and Solis Health Plans are going away. The coverage allowing patients to be treated in-network by UHealth doctors and at the system’s facilities will end after Dec. 31, UHealth said in a statement to the Miami Herald. UHealth patients who are affected either need to sign up with new plans accepted by the system or find new doctors and hospitals. UHealth has added two Medicare Advantage plans — HealthSun and Simply Healthcare Plans — that will join the network Jan. 1, 2027. Both plans will include access to UHealth primary care doctors. “We have notified all of our impacted patients about this change, giving them the opportunity during open enrollment to select an insurance plan that includes UHealth,” the system said in a statement to the Miami Herald, which added that the insurance companies dropped the health system.

The world's economic rules are changing. What's at stake for Miami? | Opinion
At a moment of significant geopolitical and economic realignment, the question facing investors, business leaders and policymakers is no longer simply where capital will flow, but what conditions will allow it to succeed. Shifting trade relationships, geopolitical tensions, technological advances and growing energy demands are reshaping the global investment landscape. Financial returns remain essential, but so do political stability, reliable infrastructure, access to energy, skilled talent and international partnerships.

With its deep connections to the United States, Latin America and beyond, Miami offers a setting for international leaders to exchange perspectives, explore shared challenges and identify opportunities. Long recognized as a gateway to Latin America and the Caribbean, Miami has evolved into an international destination for finance, real estate, technology, hospitality and major global events, including Formula 1 and the FIFA World Cup. Its growing relationships with investors from the Middle East and other markets reflect the international nature of its economy. But attracting capital and international attention is only part of the equation. The greater challenge is translating that momentum into sustained economic
