FAA's ground stop proves business needs a functioning government to thrive

The article from Yahoo Finance discusses the impact of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) ground stop on business aviation, particularly focusing on the events of January 11, 2023, when the FAA ordered a nationwide ground stop due to a NOTAM (Notice to Air Missions) system outage. This incident highlighted the vulnerabilities in the U.S. air traffic control system and its reliance on outdated technology. The ground stop, which lasted for about 90 minutes, led to significant disruptions, with over 1,300 flights delayed and 114 canceled. The article points out that while commercial airlines were heavily affected, business aviation, which often operates under different rules and uses private terminals, was less impacted. This event has sparked discussions on the need for modernization of the FAA's systems, the potential benefits of business aviation in such scenarios, and how private aviation could serve as a more reliable alternative during national air traffic control issues. The piece also touches on the broader implications for business travelers and the potential for increased investment in private aviation infrastructure.
