Hundreds of flights have been canceled across the country after the FAA announced it would be reducing flights at 40 major U.S. airports. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced this change due to the longest government shutdown in the country's history, causing air traffic controllers to work since Oct. 1 without getting paid. Both Duffy and FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford said that they are being “proactive” in keeping the national airspace system safe. “My department has many responsibilities, but our No. 1 job is safety. This isn’t about politics — it’s about assessing the data and alleviating building risk in the system as controllers continue to work without pay,” Duffy said. “It’s safe to fly today, and it will continue to be safe to fly next week because of the proactive actions we are taking.” MORE: bit.ly/4hYaixd Stay up to date with our social media: KMPH on Facebook: facebook.com/KMPHFOX26 KMPH on Twitter / X : twitter.com/KMPHF...
