The Baltimore/Washington International (BWI) Airport in Maryland is among 40 U.S. airports that could be impacted by flight cancellations, according to a proposed list obtained by CBS News.

The airport, along with three others in the Maryland/D.C. area, could start to see impacts as early as Friday after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced plans to cut air traffic by 10% at several high-volume airports.

The move aims to address a shortage of air traffic controllers as they are working without pay due to the ongoing government shutdown.

Washington Dulles International (IAD) and Ronald Reagan Washington National (DCA) airports are also expected to see flight cancellations starting Friday.

An official list of impacted airports is expected to be released Thursday.
