Hundreds of flights scheduled for Friday were cut at major U.S. airports as part of the Federal Aviation Administration’s effort to phase in 10% reductions because of the government shutdown.
The 40 airports are in what the FAA termed “high-volume markets” and include JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark. With the holiday season rapidly approaching, people are concerned about the state of air travel nationally.
