Airports across the nation are slated to see flight reductions as the record-setting government shutdown continues.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced at a Nov. 5 news conference that 40 major airports will see a 10% cut in flights. He warned earlier in the week that the cuts could come as a result of pressure on the country's air traffic controllers.

"It's going to lead to more cancellations, but we are going to work with the airlines to do this in a systematic way," Duffy said.

Major airports in New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles and more are included in the list of sites facing flight reductions, according to reports from ABC News and CBS News , which cited anonymous sources. USA TODAY has reached out to the U.S. Department of Transportation and the FAA.
