What a ground stop at IND means
A ground stop is an FAA order that holds flights to IND at their departure airport. Aircraft that are already in the air continue and land. A ground stop usually lasts from 30 minutes to a few hours, and the FAA can extend it.
A ground delay program is different: flights to IND get a later departure time, so they still operate, but late.
If your flight to or from IND is held, stay near the gate and keep the airline app open. Before you leave home, check IND security wait times.
