FAA: Flight cuts to remain at 6% as more air traffic controllers return to work

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Department of Transportation announced that flight reductions at 40 major U.S. airports will remain at 6% instead of increasing to 10%. This decision comes as more air traffic controllers return to work, which is expected to help manage air traffic more effectively. The maintenance of the 6% reduction is seen as a positive development, ensuring that air travel remains stable while addressing staffing challenges in air traffic control. This announcement is significant as it impacts travel plans for many passengers and reflects ongoing efforts to improve operational capacity in the aviation sector.
