As of Tuesday, more than 1,100 flights had been canceled, and more than 540 had been delayed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air travelers should expect worsening cancellations and delays this week even if the\u00a0US government shutdown<\/a>\u00a0ends, as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rolled out deeper cuts to flights at 40 of the nation\u2019s major airports Tuesday, officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FAA ordered domestic airlines last week to drop 4% of their flights at the airports in question, saying absences and signs of stress among traffic controllers made it imperative to act in the name of public safety. After already canceling<\/a> more than 7,900 since Friday, the goal for cutting flights is set to rise to 6% on Tuesday \u2013 and again to 10% on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday saw airlines scrap over 2,300 flights and more than 1,000 flights set for takeoff Tuesday, all due to the restrictions. Though it was unclear exactly how many additional flights would need to be canceled Tuesday, with the average cancellation rate over the last several days already exceeding the FAA\u2019s requirement, according to aviation analytics company Cirium. By about 5am ET Tuesday, more than 1,100 flights had been canceled, and more than 540 had been delayed.

The FAA on Monday had also expanded its flight restrictions, barring business jets and many private flights from using a dozen airports already under commercial flight limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unpaid for more than a month, some air traffic controllers have begun calling out of work, citing stress and the need to take on second jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That has continued leading to flight delays, including one of about five hours for arriving flights Monday evening at Chicago O\u2019Hare international airport, where wintry weather added to staffing-related disruptions earlier in the day. The FAA warned that staffing at over a dozen towers and control centers could delay planes departing for Phoenix, San Diego, the New York area and Houston, among other cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freezing weather in parts of the country on Tuesday could cause further delays and cancellations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Senate passed legislation Monday to reopen the government, but the bill still needs to clear the House and final passage could be days away. Sean Duffy, the transportation secretary, made clear last week that flight cuts will remain until the FAA sees staffing levels stabilize at its air traffic control facilities.

Many planes also aren\u2019t where they\u2019re supposed to be, which could slow the airlines\u2019 return to normal operations even after the FAA lifts the order, said Mike Taylor, who leads research on airports and airlines at JD Power.

Todd Walker said he missed his mom\u2019s 80th birthday when his flight was canceled over the weekend.

\u201cAll of this has real negative consequences for millions of Americans, and it\u2019s 100% unnecessary and avoidable,\u201d he said.

The FAA had come under criticism after its original order only applied to a very small subsection of private planes. But some want to see even more done.

Patriotic Millionaires, a group of wealthy Americans pushing for more progressive taxes, is calling for all private jets to be grounded during the shutdown.

\u201cRich people are taking their joyrides while average Americans don\u2019t make it to grandma\u2019s bedside in time,\u201d said Erica Payne, its founder and president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added that none of its members that still fly private have reported cancellations or delays since the FAA\u2019s order took effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday marks the second missed payday for controllers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s unclear how quickly controllers might be paid once the shutdown ends \u2013 it took more than two months to receive full back pay after the 35-day shutdown that ended in 2019, said Nick Daniels, president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association.

Donald Trump on Monday pressured controllers to \u201cget back to work, NOW!!!\u201d on social media. The president called for a $10,000 bonus for those who\u2019ve stayed on the job and suggested docking pay for those who haven\u2019t.

Daniels said the shutdown has made controllers\u2019 demanding jobs even more stressful, leading to fatigue and increased risks. He said the number who are retiring or quitting is \u201cgrowing\u201d by the day.
