Canberra airport: Why all planes have been grounded trends now All planes grounded at a major Australian airport with passengers told 'no one is going anywhere' By Max Aitchison For Daily Mail Australia Published: 22:43 BST, 24 May 2023 | Updated: 22:49 BST, 24 May 2023 Viewcomments Issues with the air traffic control system have caused planes to be grounded at Canberra airport. Passengers have been told 'no one is going anywhere' with those on a 6am flight being told to disembark the plane. They have since been told to grab their baggage and wait in the terminal for further updates, the person told the Canberra Times. It is understood all planes are grounded, and the airport has advised passengers they are not sure when the problem will be fixed. A loud speaker announcement within the terminal said the airspace closure was due to 'technical difficulties with one of the radars in the Canberra area'.
