After 9-11-01 how long were all domestic flights banned across the whole U.S.?

If you flew a domestic plane of any kind during this time you would be shot down so people didn't even fly private planes then anywhere. And no Domestic flights were allowed to land in the U.S. either. People who wanted to come here usually flew to Vancouver or Toronto or other Canadian Airport and then either rented a car or took a bus or train into the U.S. because you couldn't fly anywhere or even land a plane from somewhere else during this time.
