Flight Delays Start Today In San Diego, Across The Country

San Diego International Airport could see 60 fewer daily flights starting Friday, as the FAA implements a 10% reduction at dozens of airports nationwide due to the government shutdown.

Airport officials say so far in November, they're seeing about 600 flights daily, with 300 departing and 300 arriving.

The number of flights affected will start at four percent, and work up to 10 percent.

Airlines will rebook your flight for a later time for no additional charge, but only some airlines, including United, Delta Air Lines and American Airlines, have agreed to refund passengers.

"At this time, SAN has not been given a final list of affected flights or airlines impacted, but we are actively monitoring developments in coordination with the FAA and our airline partners," a statement from SAN said Thursday.

The FAA said the cutbacks are necessary to relieve pressure on air traffic controllers who have been working without pay for more than a month.
