Getty Images The Federal Aviation Administration issued a halt on all U.S. flights on Friday at around 1 p.m. PT and didn’t lift the order until approximately four hours later. With the American Film Market, the Governors Awards and numerous FYC panels scheduled over the next several days, the stoppage left many Hollywood insiders grounded on one of the busiest travel weekends of the year.
AFM was hit hard by the standstill, and several events were canceled as dealmakers were preparing for their final days at the major sales function. Ryan Werner, president of global cinema at Neon, told Variety he was unsure if he could make it to AFM on Saturday for the studio’s party. He mentioned “our flights” when referring to travel plans, likely meaning several members of the Neon team were shut down on the way to Los Angeles.
