FAA Abbreviation Reference
Windsor Locks (BDL) Airport Delays — FAQ
What does an active FAA delay mean at BDL?
An active FAA delay at BDL means the FAA has issued an advisory — such as a Ground Stop, Ground Delay Program, or Arrival/Departure Delay — affecting flights operating at Bradley International Airport. It is a system-wide restriction, not specific to one airline.
What is a Ground Delay Program at BDL?
A Ground Delay Program at BDL means inbound flights are being held at their departure airports and given controlled release times. This absorbs delay on the ground rather than in the air, saving fuel and improving safety. GDPs typically last several hours.
What is a Ground Stop at BDL?
A Ground Stop at BDL temporarily halts all departures heading to Windsor Locks. Flights already en route are generally allowed to continue. Ground Stops are usually shorter in duration than Ground Delay Programs and are issued when conditions change rapidly.
How often is BDL FAA delay data updated?
FAA delay status for BDL on FlightStatus.flights refreshes every 5 minutes from official FAA NAS data. The Delay History section above shows all status changes detected in the past 24 hours.
Are FAA airport delays the same as individual flight delays at BDL?
No. FAA airport delays are system-wide advisories issued by the FAA affecting all flights at BDL. Individual flight delays may also be caused by airline-specific issues such as late-arriving aircraft, crew availability, or mechanical problems. Both can occur simultaneously.
