Flight delays continue after hours-long nationwide FAA ground stop lifted

Yeah, Sydney, Shamar was over at DCA. We're seeing a little bit of a different scene here at Dulles. We'll start over here on this big board, as you can see up here. Yep, we got a lot of canceled flights. We're seeing a lot of delayed flights as well. But then, as you work your way down, increasingly, we are seeing more and more on-time flights. That includes this flight, you can see right here, heading to Seoul. And let's talk to Dong Hui, who is about to board and head on over to Seoul. So, Dong Hui, fellow reporter, He is heading to Seoul, but from there he will be heading to the APEC summit, right, to see President Trump. And you were telling me, you were sitting at home, you were seeing all this news come in. You didn't think you were making it out there, did you? Yeah, I was very concerned about the situation. I'm afraid of missing the flights because the APEC meeting, President Donald Trump's visit to China will be very important for us. So I was so concerned about that. Fortunately, it was covered very quickly. President Trump in and out for a lot of these meetings, as many world leaders are. So you missed that first flight. You might not get your chance. What was your reaction when you heard the ground stop was over and you might actually get out of here tonight? So I'm so happy because at home I actually watched the news briefing in the White House. I heard Secretary Duffy talking about the... The situation of the infrastructure, particularly today's incident, is a kind of urgency. So I agree with him about the updating the infrastructure in the United States. I think it's very important as a big power. We should have a... Ah. Let me ask you one more question, Don Juan. You watched that briefing. We watched the briefing as well. We aired it on the Fox Local app. A lot of questions about safety. Should people feel safe getting on these flights after this happened? How are you feeling about to board your flight? At the very beginning, I feel a little bit nervous. I just think, oh, is it a hijack or is it a terrorist attack? But after hearing the briefing by the Secretary of Homeland Security, I feel safe, yeah. Don Quay, good job, man. Thank you so much. Safe travels. I hope you get some face time with President Trump. Thank you very much. Guys, follow me this way. I'll give you a little bit more of a spin around Dulles here. You know, I heard Shamari talking about all these people who had missed their flights. A little bit of a different deal here. This is the departure section. It's been pretty quiet. Since we've been here, we've also been downstairs to the arrival section. That's pretty quiet, too. Over here, you can see people in line. I've been coming over and talking to them, and at first, I said, oh, my gosh, are you guys trying to rebook your flights now that the ground stop is over? Everybody I've talked to over in this area said, no, no, no, we're just showing up. Our flights are on time. Things look okay. And that seems to be the case here, especially with all these international flights that we know come in and out of Dulles quite a bit. One more story I will leave you with. Down here in Baggage Claim, this might be where we do our next live shot at 10.30 down there. But we are down there checking things out, and anybody who's been here will know that this airport, just like every other airport, they have volunteers that come in here. Dulles, they wear those blue vests. And I was talking to one of the volunteers. He told me that he just periodically volunteers here. He does not get paid. He said he was sitting on his couch, and at about 5.30, he saw an email that had come in saying, we've got a little bit of a situation. Can any of you volunteers? Please just come on out to the airport. He said, well, I don't have anything better to do. So he came on out. He's still here tonight. He said that starting at about 6 o'clock, he lives close, he said it was all unhappy people he was dealing with, a whole lot of them down at his desk there. He said since 9 o'clock, it's been almost entirely happy people, or maybe the better phrase would be relieved people. And, guys, that is what we are hearing a lot of, Dong Hui included, tonight, for now. Back to you. Yeah, so many people.
