FAAs New Flight Restrictions: Southern California Airports Impacted as Government Shutdown ContinuesThe Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has implemented a nationwide reduction in flights due to the ongoing government shutdown, affecting major hubs like Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Charlotte, and Los Angeles. California, particularly, is significantly impacted, with five of its airports, including San Diego, Oakland, and San Francisco International, on the list. The cutbacks, starting at four percent and increasing to ten percent by November fourteenth, are necessary to alleviate pressure on air traffic controllers working without pay for over a month. Passengers are advised to check their airline apps for flight status updates, as airlines are required to refund customers for canceled flights but not cover additional costs like food or hotel accommodations unless the delay or cancellation is within their control.
