WASHINGTON, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Canadian carrier WestJet

Airlines' ground stop at all destination airports has been

canceled, according to a notice on the U.S. Federal Aviation

Administration's website on Tuesday.

The airline had requested a brief ground stop for flights

operating under the WestJet livery and its regional subsidiary

WestJet Encore.

A ground stop is an air traffic control measure that

temporarily halts flights from departing for a specific airport

or region, usually due to safety, weather or operational issues.

Representatives for WestJet, owned by Onex Corp ( ONEXF ),

did not immediately respond to a request for details.

The reason for the ground stop was not immediately clear.
