Boston College Avoids FAA Flight Chaos
14 Nov
Summary
- FAA halted all nationwide outgoing flights Friday.
- Boston College football team departed before the pause.
- Several major college football matchups were impacted.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a nationwide halt on outgoing flights Friday afternoon, causing widespread travel disruptions. This unexpected pause severely affected numerous college football teams en route to Saturday matchups across the country.
However, the Boston College Eagles football team managed to avoid the chaos. Their flight to South Bend departed at 1:45 p.m. ET, narrowly preceding the FAA's travel suspension, which took effect around 3:54 p.m. ET.
While Boston College's travel was unaffected, several other key matchups, including No. 2 Utah at Arizona and No. 8 Tennessee at Texas A&M, faced significant delays. The Baylor at No. 10 BYU game presented a particular challenge, as BYU could not postpone due to religious observances. Some teams, like Purdue, resorted to bus travel to reach their destinations.
