LOS ANGELES (KABC) – A ground stop was issued Sunday morning for flights departing to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) due to staffing issues. This restriction affected most of the Southern California region, leading to significant disruptions.
Even after flights resume, travelers should expect delays. It is highly recommended that passengers monitor their flight status closely to stay informed about any changes.
It is important to note that air traffic controllers across the country have been working without pay amid the ongoing government shutdown, contributing to staffing challenges and operational delays.
