Flight Troubles Continue Despite Shutdown Deal

“Airlines braced for further chaos this week, despite a deal in the Senate to end the government shutdown,” the New York Times reports.

“About 5,000 flights were canceled from Friday through Sunday as federal restrictions on flying at the nation’s busiest airports kicked in… The disruption peaked at 10 percent of scheduled flights on Sunday, the fourth worst day for cancellations this year. By Monday morning, more than 1,400 flights had been canceled for the day, more than 5.5 percent of scheduled trips.”
