On Wednesday (November 5), Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said that 40 “high-volume” airports will have their air traffic cut by 10%. The move arrives in the coming days to help with shortages of air traffic controllers. It’s reported that amid the 36 day-long government shutdown, controllers have been working without pay.

The 10% air traffic cuts will begin starting November 7. Airlines will reach the full 10% mark by next week, according to CBS News citing sources familiar with a conversation between the the FAA, the Department of Transportation, and the airlines.
