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.

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.
