"On Friday, airlines will begin implementing the US Federal Aviation Administration's order to reduce domestic operations at 40 high-traffic airports for safety reasons. In its official order published Thursday evening, the FAA said that the reductions, which will impact all commercial airlines, will start at 4% on Friday and ramp up to 10% by November 14. The cuts were expected to affect hundreds of thousands of passengers with little notice."
"How US airlines are handling flight cuts Delta was axing about 170 US flights on Friday, with fewer expected on Saturday due to lower travel volume. American Airlines reduced its schedules by 4% across 40 airports, amounting to around 220 flights canceled each day from Friday through Monday. United announced it plans to cut 4% of its flights from Friday through Sunday, resulting in fewer than 200 daily cancellations. Southwest Airlines will cancel about 120 flights on Friday."
FAA ordered reductions in domestic operations at 40 high-traffic U.S. airports starting Friday, beginning at 4% and increasing to 10% by November 14. The directive covers all commercial airlines and aims to address safety strains tied to the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Major hubs affected include Atlanta, Miami and San Francisco, plus other busiest airports such as Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, Chicago O'Hare and Los Angeles. Airlines announced cancellations: Delta about 170 flights Friday; American roughly 220 daily (Friday–Monday); United fewer than 200 daily (Friday–Sunday); Southwest about 120 Friday. Carriers offered greater flexibility for passengers to change or cancel reservations. The cuts are expected to disrupt hundreds of thousands of travelers ahead of Thanksgiving.
