ATLANTA - Travelers passing through Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport are beginning to experience delays and cancellations as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) starts implementing nationwide flight reductions tied to the ongoing government shutdown.
FAA flight restrictions begin
The backstory:
The restrictions began Friday with a 4% cut in flights. The FAA plans to increase that to 6% by Nov. 11, 8% by Nov. 13, and 10% by Nov. 14.
Hartsfield-Jackson typically sees more than 2,500 flights a day, meaning the reductions will begin with around 100 fewer flights Friday and could reach about 250 cancellations when the full reduction takes effect.
