A 10% flight reduction is rolling out at major U.S. airports starting Friday, prompting travel warnings even in unaffected cities like Rochester, according to WROC.
The phased cuts, triggered by unpaid air traffic controllers amid the federal shutdown, will grow from 4% to 10% by Nov. 14. While Rochester’s airport isn’t on the list, travelers could still feel delays due to connecting flights.
Officials urge passengers to plan ahead and use airline apps for real-time updates.
