"Holiday travel is starting to look incredibly dicey. The shutdown so far has created massive air traffic control delays, leaving some airports so understaffed that they had to temporarily shut down. Starting on Friday, federal officials will reduce 10% of flights at 40 US airports to manage traffic. Five airports - Atlanta, Charlotte, Boston, Seattle, and Philadelphia - confirmed to Business Insider that they are among those temporarily losing some service."
"The FAA has not yet released an official list of all affected airports. The aviation analytics company Cirium compiled a list of 100 major airports that are among the most likely to be included. It said that up to 1,800 flights representing about 268,000 seats could be cut on Friday. Here's the full list from Cirium: Chicago O'Hare International Airport Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport Denver International Airport Los Angeles International Airport"
