According to LAX Executive Director Gina Marie Lindsay, almost every flight leaving LAX will be "significantly late."

As for incoming flights, they are still being accepted, but at less than half the normal rate, according to Lindsay. The LAX website is reporting a Traffic Management Program in effect for incoming traffic and advising passengers to expect delays.
