NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A ground stop is currently in effect at Nashville International Airport (BNA) after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) cited staffing shortages in the air-traffic control tower.

Departures are being held until the stop is lifted, and while the target for resuming departures is 2:45 p.m., officials say there is a medium possibility the delay could be extended if controller-staffing levels don’t stabilize.

While no official end time has been confirmed, operations will resume as soon as the FAA determines staffing meets minimum safe-levels. Stay alert for updates.
