SpaceX Debris Halts Every West Coast Flight

Hawaii DOT: All West Coast flights halted by SpaceX debris after FAA ground stop

Hawaiʻi's Department of Transportation says all flights between the islands and the West Coast were stopped after debris from a SpaceX Starship launch, following an earlier nationwide FAA ground stop over a communications failure at air traffic control centers. The rocket's booster malfunctioned and fell into the Gulf of Mexico after an automatic abort while the spacecraft flew on. Interisland flights stayed active, and Hawaiian and Alaska airlines offered flexible rebooking.
