Government Shutdown

The Federal Aviation Administration is forcing airlines to cut 10% of their flights at 40 of the busiest airports across the nation to reduce pressure on air traffic controllers during the ongoing government shutdown and ensure that flying remains safe. The cuts will start to take effect on Friday. Travelers should check with their airlines to see if their flight has been affected. The airports impacted cover the busiest across the U.S. — including Atlanta, Denver, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, and San Francisco. Multiple airports will be affected in some of the biggest cities, including New York, Houston and Chicago.

The Federal Aviation Administration is expected to list where it plans to scale back flights by 10% starting Friday. The agency says it will release details Thursday. It says flights are being reduced to maintain safety during the government shutdown. Air traffic controllers have been working unpaid since Oct. 1. And many are working mandatory overtime. Officials warn there could be chaos next week if controllers miss a second full paycheck. Staffing-related flight delays had been largely isolated and temporary throughout October. But the past weekend brought some of the worst staffing issues since the start of the shutdown.
