Travelers flying into San Diego International Airport faced significant delays Friday as strong winds disrupted air traffic and prompted federal aviation officials to implement traffic management measures.

 

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported average delays of 1 hour and 28 minutes for arriving flights on October 16. Weather conditions, including strong winds, were cited as the cause of the disruptions.

 

Delays affecting incoming flights may also impact departure schedules, potentially leading to changes in travel plans for passengers flying out of San Diego.

 

 

The FAA advises travelers to check their flight status directly with their airlines before heading to the airport and to monitor notifications for schedule changes.

Airport operations may continue to fluctuate throughout the day as weather conditions evolve and air traffic restrictions are adjusted.
