NEW YORK (WABC) -- As the government shutdown continues, airlines are cutting flights at airports across the country, including several in the Tri-State area as Thanksgiving is just weeks away.
LaGuardia, JFK, Newark and Teterboro airports are among the list of 40 major airports announced earlier this week.
Under the emergency order issued by the FAA, airlines are required to reduce operations at the 40 "high-impact airports" by 4% starting Friday.
That ramps up to 6% by Tuesday, Nov 11, 8% by Thursday, November 13, and 10% by Friday, November 14.
Any airline that does not comply will be fined $75,000 per flight over the limit, according to the FAA order.
The decision is expected to cut thousands of flights per day.
