The Federal Aviation Administration is holding some flights bound for Seattle’s Boeing Field until 4:30 p.m. Pacific on Thursday, Nov. 12. The FAA advisory lists an average delay of 114 minutes for flights covered by the ground stop. The order applies to arrivals at King County International Airport, the airport shown as BFI on flight itineraries.
The hold applies to selected departures from six air traffic control regions served by the Los Angeles, Oakland, Salt Lake City, Denver, Albuquerque and Minneapolis centers. The FAA did not specify a cause in the advisory. A ground stop holds affected aircraft at their departure airports. If you’re meeting someone at Boeing Field, confirm the new arrival time with the airline before leaving.

The advisory covers Boeing Field. Check Seattle-Tacoma International Airport’s flight board if your itinerary says SEA. King County lists Kenmore Air, SeaPort Airlines and Backcountry Aviation as scheduled passenger operators at Boeing Field. The FAA advisory does not identify individual flights. Check the FAA status board for changes to the hold.
King County previously said that controllers at Boeing Field are working from a temporary tower while crews repair the permanent tower’s drainage system. The county said the temporary facility can handle fewer flights under some conditions. The FAA advisory did not link Thursday’s ground stop to the repair work.
