As of 10 p.m., Tampa International Airport (TPA) was reporting more than 240 delayed flights and over 200 were canceled \u2014 that\u2019s out of 607 planned flights on Monday.<\/p>\n
This is coming during the busy spring break season.<\/p>\n
All of TPA\u2019s passengers were dealing with some kind of delay. Estevie Hidalgo was among the passengers who packed TPA\u2019s main terminal, hoping for good news on the arrivals and departures board, and only seeing red.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll you see when you look up on the board is delays, delays, delays, cancels, cancels, cancels,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve been stuck in the airport in this process for over 30 hours. I\u00a0was over in Miami for over a day, waiting, planes being canceled and canceled and canceled, and finally, I made it here to Tampa. They just told me my next flight to Washington was now canceled, so I\u2019m stuck here in Florida\u00a0until Wednesday night\u00a0and have no clue what to do at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a brief ground stop for flights coming into TPA Monday afternoon due to thunderstorms. That, plus winter storms along the east coast, comes not even two weeks into the spring break travel season at TPA.<\/p>\n
The airport said it expects up to 80,000 passengers a day to pass through until April 13. Hidalgo said the extra traffic makes figuring out what to do next more complicated.<\/p>\n
\u201cI go online to try to do stuff, and they\u2019re telling me that they can\u2019t do anything for me. So, I have to pretty much be practically homeless in Florida until I figure out a way to either take a bus or a train or this, that, and everything right now is absolutely booked up,\u201d\u00a0he said.<\/p>\n
This comes as the nation is entering the second month of a partial government shutdown that is impacting Transportation Security Administration\u00a0(TSA) employees. A TPA spokesperson said that they were not seeing any significant delays at security screening checkpoints.<\/p>\n
Spectrum News reached out to TSA for more information on whether the airport was seeing any shortage of TSA staff, but we did not hear back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
