Since the start of the government shutdown, approximately 150 flights have been canceled at Southern California airports, with LAX experiencing the highest number of delays and cancellations, primarily due to staffing shortages caused by FAA staff working without pay. The situation is expected to worsen if the shutdown continues, prompting airlines to reduce operations and advising travelers to book nonstop morning flights and avoid smaller planes.
