FAA Abbreviation Reference
Salt Lake City (SLC) Airport Delays — FAQ
What does an active FAA delay mean at SLC?
An active FAA delay at SLC means the FAA has issued an advisory — such as a Ground Stop, Ground Delay Program, or Arrival/Departure Delay — affecting flights operating at Salt Lake City International Airport. It is a system-wide restriction, not specific to one airline.
What is a Ground Delay Program at SLC?
A Ground Delay Program at SLC 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 SLC?
A Ground Stop at SLC temporarily halts all departures heading to Salt Lake City. 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 SLC FAA delay data updated?
FAA delay status for SLC 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 SLC?
No. FAA airport delays are system-wide advisories issued by the FAA affecting all flights at SLC. 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.
