"Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Wednesday that the Federal Aviation Administration is forcing airlines to cut 10% of their flights at 40 of the busiest airports across the nation. The goal, he said, is to reduce pressure on air traffic controllers during the ongoing government shutdown and ensure that flying remains safe. Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport and San Francisco International Airport are both on the list."
"San Jose Mineta International Airport is not. The cuts will start to take effect on Friday, Nov. 7. Travelers should check with their airlines to see if their flight has been cut. Kaley Skantz, a spokesperson for OAK, said that as of 1 p.m. Thursday, the FAA had not formally indicated that OAK will experience service cuts beginning Friday, but that the airport will continue to closely monitor developments."
