HOUSTON — Here’s how United, Southwest, American, and Delta are handling schedule changes starting Friday, Nov. 7.

Why airlines are cutting flights

The Federal Aviation Administration and Department of Transportation have directed airlines across 40 major U.S. airports to reduce flight schedules beginning Friday, Nov. 7, citing safety concerns during the ongoing government shutdown.

The move aims to relieve pressure on the national aviation system, where air traffic controllers and TSA staff have been working without pay and staffing shortages have caused delays nationwide.
