San Diego International Airport Operating Normally During Government Shutdown

San Diego International Airport (SAN) continues to operate normally, and essential federal aviation personnel (including air traffic controllers, FAA operations, and related support staff) are anticipated to remain on duty. We expect no disruption to airport-controlled functions such as parking, concessions, customer service, or public safety. However, please be aware that checkpoint wait times and flight scheduling remain subject to the operations of our federal and airline partners. In the event that travel volumes grow or federal staffing constraints intensify, delays may occur. To help ensure a smooth experience through the airport, please check your flight status before coming to the airport and allow extra time for TSA/security screening. SAN continues to coordinate with federal partners, and we are thankful for their service during this time. We are closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates through our website and social media should conditions change.
