Only one major commercial airport in the United States is experiencing operational delays this morning: San Diego (SAN).
San Diego International is currently operating under an FAA Ground Delay Program driven by airport volume. Inbound flights are seeing average delays of 38 minutes, with peak wait times stretching to 1 hour and 24 minutes. If SAN is on your itinerary today, anticipate schedule creep and monitor your flight status closely.
In the New York metro area, Teterboro (TEB) is logging departure delays of 16 to 30 minutes due to volume. This impacts private aviation only and is causing zero spillover into commercial operations at JFK, LaGuardia, or Newark.
Every other major U.S. hub—including Atlanta, Chicago-O'Hare, Dallas/Fort Worth, and Denver—is running on time. Today is Election Day, but at 30,000 feet, it is a routine travel day with no unusual patterns or disruptions. With Thanksgiving just 22 days away, this remains one of the quietest travel weeks of the month before pre-holiday capacity surges.
If you are flying into San Diego today, check your inbound aircraft's departure city immediately to see if the FAA has held it on the ground.
