LOS ANGELES — Planes continued to land at Los Angeles International Airport after the FAA issued its nationwide ground stop, at one point coming in regularly every two to three minutes. The news came a day before the Islanders squared off against the Anaheim Ducks in Los Angeles.
By 2:30 p.m. local time, the landings became less frequent and no activity was observed on the runways.
Traffic around LAX, usually fairly dense, was also lighter than normal.
