WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn. — Bradley International Airport saw minimal disruptions in recent days despite nationwide impacts from the federal government shutdown, airport officials said Thursday.
The update came after President Donald Trump signed a bill late Wednesday night to end the shutdown.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration, flight reductions will remain capped at 6%, avoiding an anticipated increase to 10% that was expected Friday. While Bradley itself did not experience major operational setbacks, the FAA restricted flights at several airports it flies to, which triggered delays and 14 cancellations as of last Friday .
For many travelers, however, the experience at Bradley has remained smoother than expected.
