WASHINGTON, D.C. (KFGO) – Federal officials are set to reduce the number of flights in U.S. airspace Friday morning due to staffing shortages caused by the federal government shutdown.
FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford says unless a deal is reached to end the shutdown, the agency will cut air traffic by 10% at 40 of the nation’s busiest airports.
The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) says it’s aware of the FAA’s plans but has not received specific information about how Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) might be affected.
Travelers are advised to check directly with their airlines for the latest updates on flight schedules.
