These 40 airports will be impacted by the FAA’s capacity cuts and flight cancellations

by

The Federal Aviation Administration’s plan to slash airline capacity due to the government shutdown will hit some of the nation’s busiest airports, including in Atlanta, Dallas, New York City and Los Angeles, the agency said Thursday.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Wednesday that 40 “high-volume” areas will have their air traffic cut by 10% in the coming days to cope with shortages of air traffic controllers, who are working without pay amid the government shutdown. The cuts will be phased in starting Friday morning at 6 a.m. local time at airports, with airlines reaching the full 10% mark by next week, according to an emergency order issued Thursday by the FAA. 

The list of airports includes scores of busy passenger airports in major cities and airline hubs, as well as airports with heavy cargo traffic including Louisville, Memphis, Anchorage and Ontario, California, as well as an airport in Teterboro, New Jersey, that is frequented by private jets and other general aviation traffic.
