A temporary ground stop affecting all destination airports for Canadian carrier WestJet Airlines has been lifted, according to a notice posted Tuesday on the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) website.

The airline had requested the brief halt, which applied to flights operating under the WestJet brand as well as its regional subsidiary, WestJet Encore.

A ground stop is an air traffic control measure that temporarily prevents flights from departing to specific airports or regions, typically due to safety, weather, or operational concerns.

WestJet, which is owned by Onex Corp (ONEX.TO), has not yet provided details about the reason for the stop. The cause remains unclear at this time.
