The Federal Aviation Administration’s unprecedented order to scale back flights nationwide because of the record-long government shutdown is set to take effect Friday morning.
The 40 airports selected by the FAA span more than two dozen states and include hubs such as Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles and Charlotte, North Carolina, according to the order.
In some metropolitan areas, including New York, Houston, Chicago and Washington, multiple airports will be impacted, while the ripple effects could reach smaller airports as well.


If you are maga, and upset about your travel being canceled, just take solace in knowing that trump is getting his big beautiful ballroom. The skyrocketing price of groceries is nothing to worry about because Musk just got a trillion dollar compensation package.

And hey, Mike Johnson is keeping the Epstein investigation files sealed during this shutdown. So chin up little MAGA, your pedo president is being protected by you getting stranded in the Des Moines airport.
