## Summary

Disruption caused by Friday’s nationwide FAA ground stop continued at Los Angeles International Airport and San Francisco International Airport on Sunday, leaving travellers facing cancellations, delays and missing luggage. The lingering problems show how a major aviation shutdown can affect journeys for days after it is lifted, as airlines work to reposition aircraft and crews.

As of Sunday morning, LAX reported 46 delays and 21 cancellations, while SFO reported 14 delays and eight cancellations. Friday’s ground stop forced more than 3,500 aircraft to land and disrupted hundreds of thousands of passengers; at SFO, travellers described missed connections, overnight stays and searches for bags, including a newlywed couple’s missing wedding clothes.
