A strong chemical smell forces a 1-hour flight halt at 4 major DC-area airports

- Officials traced the odor to an overheated circuit board, which was replaced to restore normal operations and lift the ground stops at the DC-area airports.
- The FAA attributed the ground stops to a strong odor originating at the Potomac TRACON in Northern Virginia, affecting air traffic controllers and causing ripple effects on flights.
- Ground stops were issued for the four area airports around 6:30 p.m., and were lifted by around 8 p.m., with ongoing delays afterward.
