The issue was mitigated and the ground stop for Alaska and Horizon flights expired at 8:30 a.m. PT," Alaska Airlines said in a statement.As of late Wednesday morning, the flight status on the San Diego International Airport website showed close to 30 Alaska Airlines delays, both for arrivals and departures.
