Travelers facing missed connections, delayed landing times as Kinder Morgan works to repair fuel line leak
A fuel shortage limiting San Diego’s supply is adding to the holiday travel headaches for passengers at San Diego International Airport.
“Well, this is a first in my half-century of air travel…..our @united nonstop from San Diego to Washington has to stop at LAX to take on fuel, because there is a fuel shortage at SAN…” John Roberts, an anchor on Fox News posted, on Twitter Sunday. An airport spokesperson declined to answer questions Monday but provided a statement that uses the airport’s code name, SAN.
The inability to use the pipeline to get fuel to the airport is forcing airlines to truck in fuel, but fuel trucks lack the capacity to supply enough fuel for the hundreds of jets at the airport, according to social media posts and the travel blogAirlines are putting enough fuel in planes to get them to either Los Angeles, Phoenix, Las Vegas or Ontario airports, where they can then fully fuel up, the blog says.
