TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) \u2014 On day three of the Federal Aviation Administration\u2019s order to reduce flight traffic, delays and cancellations continued ticking up at Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n
TPA was named one of the 40 busiest airports in the country, meaning it is facing 4% reduction in flights, which will increase to 6% on Tuesday. By next Friday, Nov. 14, a 10% reduction in flight traffic will be in place.<\/p>\n
As of 6:04 p.m. on Sunday: 50 cancellations, 187 delays; roughly 43% of total flights<\/p>\n
On Saturday, delays and cancellations slowly increased throughout the day and by 9 p.m., 36 flights had been cancelled and 175 had been delayed, making up nearly half of all flights.<\/p>\n
One silver lining is that TPA has not yet been forced into a ground stop due to flight traffic, which has happened at major airports in Boston, Las Vegas, Newark, Charlotte, Chicago and other cities.<\/p>\n
Travelers should check with their airline for information about specific flights.
