QUEENS, N.Y. The Federal Aviation Administration is halting some flights to New Yorks LaGuardia Airport due to staffing issues with air traffic controllers.
A slight increase in sick leave at two air traffic control facilities in New York and Florida led the FAA to adjust operations to a safe rate, the administration said in a statement.
It wasnt immediately clear which flights would be affected at LaGuardia. An NBC reporter said flights are still taking off and landing but that the rate of them has slowed.
Airlines are telling me the FAA has not halted ALL flights into LGA. Planes are landing and taking off. The rate of them has slowed

Despite frantic online alerts about the groundings, the scene was quiet and orderly at LaGuardia late Friday morning, and there were nearly as many reporters arriving to cover the expected commotion as there were frustrated travelers still outside the security checkpoint. One uniformed airport employee, who declined to give his name, said most of the passengers impacted by the groundings were already through security.
