An FAA ground stop Friday afternoon delayed flights at the airport through the morning and early afternoon on Saturday in Erie and across the country.
Travelers said the delays at the airport caused them to miss connections at other airports, including Charlotte. They said that led to rebookings and changes to their travel plans.
They also said one benefit of flying in and out of a smaller airport is being close to home. They said that is one of the reasons why they choose to fly in and out of Erie.
As of the afternoon, there were no delays for flights out of the airport, but travelers at larger airports across the country were still dealing with delays and cancellations.
