Government Shutdown Grounds 10% of Flights at Major U.S. Airports

                                  Shutdown causes staffing shortages, flight delays, longer security wait times

The U.S. government has ordered a 10% reduction in flights at major airports nationwide as the federal shutdown drags on. The move is aimed at easing pressure on air traffic control and security staff, many of whom have been working without pay.

Airlines were given just over a day to adjust schedules, leading to widespread cancellations and delays. The cuts will primarily affect domestic flights during peak hours, while international routes are expected to continue largely unaffected.

Industry experts warn that the reduction could eliminate thousands of flights and hundreds of thousands of seats, hitting major hubs such as New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Dallas. Travelers should expect longer wait times, fewer available flights, and higher ticket prices as airlines reduce capacity.

Officials say the restrictions could be lifted once the shutdown ends, but until then, the aviation system will continue to operate under strain.
