According to Al Jazeera, FAA head Bryan Bedford stated at a press conference on Saturday that out of the 41,000 flights scheduled for that day, approximately 4,000 to 5,000 would be canceled. A full recovery of the flight schedule is expected to be achieved by the end of Sunday. He noted that the grounding caused about 12,000 flights to experience crew and aircraft misalignments, which need to be reconnected. The aforementioned figures represent the FAA's recovery expectations at the time, and do not mean that flights have fully resumed.
