 * "Ground Stops are implemented for a number of reasons. The most common reasons are:
 * To control air traffic volume to airports when the projected traffic demand is expected to exceed the :airport's acceptance rate for a short period of time.
 * To temporarily stop traffic allowing for the implementation of a longer-term solution, such as a Ground :Delay Program.
 * The affected airport's acceptance rate has been reduced to zero.
 * How it works:
 * Flights that are destined to the affected airport are held at their departure point for the duration of :the Ground Stop."
