At least one flight into Manchester-Boston Regional Airport has been canceled because of a directive from the Federal Aviation Administration to reduce flights due to an air-traffic controller shortage linked to the ongoing federal government shutdown.<\/p>\n
Breeze Airways Flight MX816 was due to arrive at 6:56 p.m. Saturday from Orlando International Airport but has now been canceled.<\/p>\n

He believes fewer flights will help. <\/p>\n “If you get down to 10%, which is probably about 4,000 aircraft today, that’ll make it easier,” he said. “It will ease the burden.”<\/p>\n Officials urged travelers to check with their airlines before heading to the airport.<\/p>\n Earlier this week, the FAA directive limited the number of flights through 40 major airports, including Boston\u2019s Logan Airport. Manchester-Boston Regional Airport was not on that list, but flights from affected airports do go through Manchester.<\/p>\n “MHT has not been directly affected by the FAA’s recently announced 10% reduction in flight operations across the national airspace system,” Manchester airport officials wrote on the airport’s website. “While several major hub airports and connecting cities are included in the FAA’s reduction list, currently, flights operating to and from MHT are proceeding on schedule. We would recommend all passengers to please check with their airline for the latest flight information. We’re grateful to all our employees, particularly our federal partners, for keeping MHT running smoothly.”<\/p>\n See the full list of affected airports below:<\/p>\n ANC \u2014 Anchorage InternationalATL \u2014 Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta InternationalBOS \u2014 Boston Logan InternationalBWI \u2014 Baltimore\/Washington InternationalCLT \u2014 Charlotte Douglas InternationalCVG \u2014 Cincinnati\/Northern Kentucky InternationalDAL \u2014 Dallas LoveDCA \u2014 Ronald Reagan Washington NationalDEN \u2014 Denver InternationalDFW \u2014 Dallas\/Fort Worth InternationalDTW \u2014 Detroit Metropolitan Wayne CountyEWR \u2014 Newark Liberty InternationalFLL \u2014 Fort Lauderdale\/Hollywood InternationalHNL \u2014 Honolulu InternationalHOU \u2014 Houston HobbyIAD \u2014 Washington Dulles InternationalIAH \u2014 George Bush Houston IntercontinentalIND \u2014 Indianapolis InternationalJFK \u2014 New York John F Kennedy InternationalLAS \u2014 Las Vegas McCarran InternationalLAX \u2014 Los Angeles InternationalLGA \u2014 New York LaGuardiaMCO \u2014 Orlando InternationalMDW \u2014 Chicago MidwayMEM \u2014 Memphis InternationalMIA \u2014 Miami InternationalMSP \u2014 Minneapolis\/St Paul InternationalOAK \u2014 Oakland InternationalONT \u2014 Ontario InternationalORD \u2014 Chicago O`Hare InternationalPDX \u2014 Portland InternationalPHL \u2014 Philadelphia InternationalPHX \u2014 Phoenix Sky Harbor InternationalSAN \u2014 San Diego InternationalSDF \u2014 Louisville InternationalSEA \u2014 Seattle\/Tacoma InternationalSFO \u2014 San Francisco InternationalSLC \u2014 Salt Lake City InternationalTEB \u2014 TeterboroTPA \u2014 Tampa International<\/p>\n
