Detroit Metro Airport is one of the 40 airports that is expected to see a 10% cut in the number of flights per day amid the government shutdown.
That's according to a list of airports obtained by ABC News. According to ABC News, the cut would go into effect on Friday and reductions will start at 4% and work up to 10%.
The cuts will only affect domestic flights, and will go into effect Friday morning, according to FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
"Our sole role is to make sure that we keep this airspace as safe as possible. Reduction in capacity at 40 of our locations. This is not based on light airline travel locations. This is about where the pressure is and how to really deviate the pressure," Bedford said during a press conference on Wednesday.
