Syracuse (SYR) Airport Delays — FAQ

What does an active FAA delay mean at SYR?

An active FAA delay at SYR means the FAA has issued an advisory — such as a Ground Stop, Ground Delay Program, or Arrival/Departure Delay — affecting flights operating at Syracuse Hancock International Airport. It is a system-wide restriction, not specific to one airline.

What is a Ground Delay Program at SYR?

A Ground Delay Program at SYR 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 SYR?

A Ground Stop at SYR temporarily halts all departures heading to Syracuse. 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 SYR FAA delay data updated?

FAA delay status for SYR 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 SYR?

No. FAA airport delays are system-wide advisories issued by the FAA affecting all flights at SYR. 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.
