Residual delays from nat'l ground stop haunt Oakland airport passengers

Jesse Gary is live at Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport with the latest. Jesse. Amber, good evening to you. Airport officials here say right now 28 flights are delayed. Another 11 are canceled. For passengers who have delayed flights, those delays are running about a half an hour. This is much better than it was yesterday. The headache and horror that was Friday. Let's go ahead, take a look at our video. Passengers are still inside the concourse here at Oakland Airport, concerned they may miss their events or be stranded for a second night at Oakland. This follows Friday's nationwide ground stop impacting all flights that were not in the air. Passengers today say they've been facing cancellations, but mostly delays, delays, delays. Well, I've had at least two delays, and I just turned the rental car in, and there was another delay, so I hope I get there tonight. A Phoenix. Just a Phoenix? I almost rented a car and drove. I almost did. And you know what? My flight was at 1.30, got delayed till 3:50, then got delayed till 5:15. At the 5.15, I thought, you know what? I should just go and, like, drive to L.A. Okay. Instead, Beth from SoCal booked a flight from Oakland to Phoenix instead of flying from SFO to Phoenix because that flight was not available until tomorrow. In a statement to Fox 2, Oakland airport officials say, in part, Oakland-San Francisco Bay Airport fared well last night and into this morning with no significant operational or passenger issues. There were a number of passengers that remained in our terminals through the night. Our terminal services team was equipped with water, snacks, blankets, and pillows for travelers. Select retailers in both terminals stayed open for 24 hours to accommodate passengers' needs. Some residual cancellations and delays remain, as you heard. Officials stress that flyers should check with their carriers as they come out to the airport to try and get on a flight. The problems here, much less than they are at some other major hubs. Such as LAX, where it's just a zoo. But again, if you're going to fly, check first and be prepared for delays. We're hoping that this will all kind of work through the system by Sunday night, maybe Monday. We're live out at Oakland Airport this evening. Jesse Gary, KTVU, Fox 2 News. Amber, we'll go back up the freeway to Jack London Square and you.
