CLEVELAND, Ohio – A dozen flights have been canceled Monday at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, as airlines continue to comply with a federal mandate to reduce flying amid concerns about staffing shortages and air traffic controller fatigue.

And things may get worse before they get better. Starting Tuesday, airlines will be reducing flights even more to abide by the order from the Federal Aviation Administration to decrease flying amid the federal government shutdown.

But there may be relief in sight: With the end of the government shutdown likely later this week, the airlines should begin to rebuild their schedules in time for the busy Thanksgiving travel season.

Before then, however, travelers will still need to deal with large-scale reductions in Cleveland and elsewhere.
