How the busiest airport in the U.S. is operating after ground stop

A replacement ticket hasn't guaranteed a way out of Atlanta. Reporting from Hartsfield-Jackson after the FAA's nationwide ground stop, NBC News correspondent Aaron Gilchrist finds travelers whose rebooked flights have also been canceled.

The airport is calmer than it was the night before. Departure boards show planes taking off again. But those departures tell only part of the recovery story: airlines are still trying to reposition aircraft and crews, while passengers wait in lines and face further last-minute changes.

NBC's Short drew more than 200,000 views in its first seven hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for this format. It shifts the focus from what caused the shutdown to what getting moving again actually involves.

The report also cuts to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Florida, showing check-in lines and arrival boards crowded with delays and cancellations. Gilchrist warns that conditions are unlikely to change dramatically until after the weekend.
