Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced 40 major airports would face a 10% cut in flights. See the full list of impacted airports.
American Airlines said that the 4% reduction will mean 220 canceled flights per day. The vast majority of impacted American Airlines flights are regional, and there’ll be no impact to international flights including Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean, CEO David Seymour said in a letter to employees. Further hub-to-hub routes impact will be minimized.
As the longest government shutdown in U.S. history drags on, airlines have been ordered to begin reducing operations on a phased-in basis.
