But despite the step forward, airlines are still canceling or delaying hundreds of flights following the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) mandated capacity reductions. As of Wednesday afternoon, there were more than 1,700 delays within, into, or out of the United States and more than 1,000 cancellations, according to flight tracker FlightAware. Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) had the highest number of cancellations at more than 50 outbound flights, followed by Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), Denver International Airport (DEN), and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR).

Airlines have canceled more 9,000 flights across the U.S. since the Federal Aviation Administration ordered flight cuts late last week, mostly to ease demand on control towers that are short-staffed during the federal government shutdown. Although the government appears to be moving to reopen in the coming days, airport disruptions, flight cancellations and economic losses won't go away all at once.

U.S. airlines again canceled more than 1,000 flights on Saturday, the second day of the Federal Aviation Administration's mandate to reduce air traffic because of the government shutdown. So far, the slowdown at many of the nation's busiest airports hasn't caused widespread disruptions. But it has deepened the impact felt by the nation's longest federal shutdown. We all travel. We all have somewhere to be, said Emmy Holguin, 36, who was flying from Miami Saturday to see family in the Dominican Republic. I'm hoping that the government can take care of this.

This is much higher than a directive on Wednesday when the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) called on all airlines to reduce their schedules by 4 percent to address safety concerns amid limited staffing during the shutdown. The FAA said at the time the cuts will increase to 10 percent by next Friday if the shutdown has not ended by then.

Already America's most populous state by a wide margin, California is also home to vital airports for millions of monthly domestic and international fliers - including Los Angeles International Airport, which is among the busiest transit hubs on the planet. The Federal Aviation Administration's looming reductions, set to take effect in less than 24 hours, could have significant impacts on commercial flights in and out of San Francisco International Airport, Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport, San Diego International Airport, Ontario International Airport and LAX.

Flight delays continued at U.S. airports Sunday amid air traffic controller shortages as the government shutdown entered its second month, with Newark airport in New Jersey experiencing delays of two to three hours.New York City's Emergency Management office said on X that Newark delays often ripple out to the region's other airports.Travelers flying to, from or through New York "should expect schedule changes, gate holds, and missed connections. Anyone flying today should check flight status before heading to the airport and expect longer waits," the social media post added.

A total of 115 flights were cancelled at Dublin Airport as of 8pm yesterday evening due to high winds brought by Storm Amy. Meanwhile, 18 inbound flights were diverted to other airports, and many outbound and inbound flights were experiencing delays due to the weather conditions affecting several airports across Ireland and the UK. This resulted in many passengers stranded at Dublin Airport terminals awaiting rebooking arrangements following cancellations or waiting for their delayed flights.

The exact level of disruption is not yet known - workers in key industries must give 48 hours' notice of their intention to strike, France's civil aviation authority then works out how many flights will need to be cancelled at each airport, and then it is up to airlines to decide exactly which flights to axe. Airlines generally try to prioritise long-haul flights.
