FAA lifts order slashing flights, allowing commercial airlines to resume their regular schedules

The FAA lifted flight limits after staffing-trigger events dropped from 81 to 1, allowing airlines to restore schedules at 40 major U.S. airports ahead of Thanksgiving travel.

  • The Federal Aviation Administration lifted all restrictions on commercial flights that were imposed at 40 major airports during the government shutdown.
  • Airlines can resume their regular flight schedules beginning Monday at 6 a.m. EST, as the agency cited improved air traffic controller staffing since the shutdown ended.
  • The FAA order had been in place since Nov. 7, cutting flights by up to 6% and affecting thousands of flights across the country due to staffing shortages during the shutdown.
