National ground stop affects 35 commerical passengers at Texarkana Regional Airport

A nationwide FAA ground stop delayed a scheduled flight at Texarkana Regional Airport, leaving about 35 passengers waiting in the secure area. The service was due to fly to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. The FAA said flights were halted as a precaution after communications issues affected air route traffic control centers, and airport officials said passengers would be allowed to leave and likely receive a meal if the flight was canceled.
