The FAA put a ground stop in place at LaGuardia, meaning some flights were held at their origin airport to ease congestion, but not all. Another issue that could slow down airlines is the working conditions for airline employees on the tarmac. Delta is providing protective equipment for tarmac staff and said, "For those who work on the tarmac, we're having them come inside to where breakrooms are in between aircraft turns. We are also watching the forecasts which call for rain in NYC in the days ahead which should improve the air quality."
