With the shutdown now the longest in U.S. history, the Trump administration ordered airlines to begin cutting flights at 40 busy airports, citing strain on pilots and air traffic controllers. Senate Republicans rejected a Democrat proposal to reopen the government, as unpaid controllers and screeners face a second missed paycheck. On Saturday, 931 flights were canceled and 2,156 were delayed amid staffing shortages. FAA-directed cuts are set to reach 6%, 8% by Thursday, and 10% Friday, with up to 20% possible. Airlines waived change fees; Hertz reported one-way rentals up 20%. An analyst said Thanksgiving impacts could quadruple.
