ORLANDO, US - NOV. 7: Orlando International Airport has seen flight cuts on the 37th day of the US federal government shutdown on Friday (Nov. 7) in Orlando, US.

The Federal Aviation Administration has ordered a 4% reduction in operations at 40 major US airports, including Orlando International, which will increase to 10% by November 14 due to a shortage of air traffic controllers who are working without pay as the shutdown continues.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Friday that US flights could face reductions of up to 20% if the government shutdown continues, as the initial reduction of 10% in flights will be implemented over the coming week.

The shutdown, which began Oct. 1, has halted pay for federal employees, including air traffic controllers and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers, who remain on duty without pay.

The shutdown became the longest in US history, hitting 38 days Friday, with no resolution in sight as Republicans and Democrats in the Senate remain deadlocked on restoring funding to closed federal agencies.

It surpassed the previous record of 35 days set during Trump’s first term between December 2018 and January 2019 after the upper chamber rejected a House-passed Republican funding bill for a 14th time to end the shutdown Tuesday.
