Due to the ongoing government shutdown, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently announced reductions in the number of flights permitted over U.S. airspace.
Beginning this week, 40 major airports, including Los Angeles (LAX), New York (JFK), Chicago (ORD), and Atlanta (ATL)—will experience decreased flight activity as the FAA works to manage staffing shortages among air traffic controllers.
While at this time international long-haul operations remain largely unaffected, domestic flight reductions may lead to delays and limited cargo capacity across certain U.S. gateways.
