AEW Arranging Charter Flights to Secure Roster Arrival for Full Gear Amid FAA Travel Turmoil

AEW Arranging Charter Flights to Secure Roster Arrival for Full Gear Amid FAA Travel Turmoil

With AEW Full Gear approaching, management is arranging charter flights after nationwide FAA travel delays left several performers stranded.

The logistical scramble was triggered by a nationwide Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ground stop that began Friday afternoon due to a telecommunications issue impacting air traffic control. Although the FAA lifted the ground stop later that evening, the cascading effect of flight cancellations and delays left several wrestlers stranded.

While a significant portion of the roster successfully traveled directly to Arizona following Wednesday’s joint television taping in Utah, management has deployed charter flights to transport remaining personnel who were caught off guard by the nationwide shutdown.

The travel chaos also sparked concerns regarding upcoming weekend schedules for other promotions—including TNA Wrestling’s Destination X event in Edmonton, Alberta—though major talent movements are pressing forward as operations normalize. Full Gear broadcasts live tonight from the Mortgage Matchup Center, with the main card set to kick off.
