US EditionFAA releases list of airports impacted by flight reductions, including New York, Chicago and Los Angeles
The FAA is cutting flights by 10% at 40 major U.S. airports to address staffing shortages from the ongoing government shutdown affecting 13,000 air traffic controllers.
- The Federal Aviation Administration will reduce flights across 40 airports, including major hubs like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, due to the ongoing government shutdown.
- With controllers unpaid since Oct. 1, staffing shortages at air traffic facilities have strained resources, and the Federal Aviation Administration says flight cuts aim to ease pressure and maintain safety.
- Airlines are offering waivers and refunds to customers as the FAA expects around 3,500 to 4,000 flights to be canceled daily due to the reduction.
- Air traffic controllers, who have missed paychecks during the shutdown, are facing immense stress and fatigue, prompting the FAA to reduce air traffic flow to maintain safety.
- If the shutdown persists, the FAA and Department of Transportation may extend cuts indefinitely until safety data improves, risking airspace closures next week and disrupting the Thanksgiving travel season about three weeks away.
