14:15Now PlayingThe FAA says it will slash flights at 40 of America’s busiest airports starting Friday, citing air traffic controller fatigue and the ongoing government shutdown.
- The cuts could affect 3,500–4,000 flights daily.
- United, Frontier, and American Airlines warn travelers of possible cancellations and long delays.
- Major hubs include Atlanta, Houston, Denver, Minneapolis, Portland, and Tampa.
FAA officials say they’re acting before a safety issue develops as unpaid controllers work six-day weeks with mandatory overtime.
