He said it\u2019s difficult to predict what effect that could have on Jacksonville.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what we know so far, along with the steps travelers are advised to take if their flights are canceled or delayed as a result of the FAA\u2019s nationwide flight reductions.<\/p>\n<p>Live flight updates and cancellations at Jacksonville International Airport<\/p>\n<p>Travelers can check the latest flight updates to and from Jacksonville International Airport by visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flyjacksonville.com\/content.aspx?id=440\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">flyjacksonville.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What to do if your flight is canceled due to FAA reduction?<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Transportation has mandated that all airlines must issue full refunds to customers affected by cancellations. So far, major carriers say they\u2019ll notify travelers about cancellations, provide rebooking options, and issue refunds \u2014 even if your flight isn\u2019t directly impacted.<\/p>\n<p>American Airlines is issuing travel waivers, allowing customers whose flights are canceled to change their flight or request a refund without penalty.<\/p>\n<p>United said impacted customers will be notified via the app and push notifications about flight changes and rebooking options. United customers traveling during this period are also eligible for a refund, even if their flight isn\u2019t impacted. The airline also released a list of canceled flights from Friday to Sunday\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.united.com\/en\/us\/fly\/company\/company-info\/airline-schedule-reductions.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">on its website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Delta is also offering travel waivers, allowing customers in affected markets to change, cancel, or refund flights without penalty.<\/p>\n<p>Southwest said the &#8220;vast majority&#8221; of customer flights won&#8217;t be disrupted, and those impacted will hear from the airline. Those with travel booked through Nov. 12 can change their plans or receive a refund.<\/p>\n<p>How is the goverment shutdown and FAA reductions impacting TSA nationwide?<\/p>\n<p>According to a TSA spokesperson, \u201cWhile the vast majority of TSA\u2019s nationwide operations remain minimally impacted by the government shutdown, occasional delays at some security checkpoints are to be expected.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, &#8220;the longer the shutdown goes on, the more severe the impact on our TSA workforce who have expenses they must pay for, making it harder to show up for work when not being paid.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That said, TSA has one ask from travelers: &#8220;We kindly ask for the public\u2019s patience and understanding as our officers are forced to work unpaid at this time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And despite this challenge, their spokesperson emphasized &#8220;TSA will remain vigilant and focused on performing our vital security mission on behalf of the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>FAA list of 40 airports impacted by the cuts<\/p>\n<p>The FAA has selected the following airports for the gradual increase in cancelations.
