More than 1,000 flights already canceled at US airports amid shutdown
More than 1,000 flights across the country were canceled as of Friday morning, as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and airlines grapple with staffing shortages exacerbated by the ongoing government shutdown.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced earlier this week that flight reductions were necessary to ensure safety amid the lapse in funding.
The cancellations reflect the broader impact of the shutdown on the transportation sector, highlighting challenges in maintaining normal operations without adequate staffing and resources.
Passengers are advised to check with their airlines for the latest updates on flight schedules and to plan accordingly.
