The Federal Aviation Administration has rescinded its notice from Saturday evening warning of flights departing late from Orlando International Airport.

The FAA announced Saturday around 7 p.m. on its website that departures from the airport were delayed — first by at least 30 minutes and later by at least 15 minutes. But at 9:30 p.m. the notice was no longer on the site.

That alert replaced an earlier FAA announcement that departures heading to the airport from certain areas of the United States and Florida were grounded due to thunderstorms.

FAA issued the ground stop at 5:59 p.m. and said it would continue continue until at least 7:15 p.m. but then replaced it with the alert about flights leaving Orlando.

The ground stop applied to departures heading to OIA from the Atlanta area; the Washington, D.C. area; the Houston area; and in Florida from the Jacksonville and Miami areas.
