“The Federal Aviation Administration will begin cutting the number of flights in the ‘high traffic’ parts of the country as the government shutdown grinds on and local airports have reported staffing shortages, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Wednesday. ‘There is going to be a 10% reduction in capacity at 40 of our locations,’ Duffy said. ‘This is about where’s the pressure and how do we alleviate the pressure.’ FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford said the reduction in capacity, spurred by ‘fatigue’ plaguing air traffic controllers, would start Friday.” (11/05/25)
