HOUSTON – Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport and William P. Hobby Airports are among the 40 that will see flights cut<\/a> starting Friday due to the\u00a0government shutdown<\/a>.<\/p>\n Why are flights being cut? <\/p>\n The backstory:<\/p>\n The Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday that it will reduce air traffic by 10% across 40 “high-volume” markets to maintain travel safety as air traffic controllers exhibit signs of strain during the ongoing government shutdown.<\/p>\n Airlines said they would try to minimize the impact on travelers. United Airlines said it would focus the cuts on smaller regional routes that use smaller planes like 737s.<\/p>\n Passengers should start to be notified about cancellations Thursday. The AAA recommended that travelers download their airline\u2019s app and turn on notifications. United Airlines and Delta Air Lines both said they will offer refunds to passengers who opt not to fly \u2014 even if they purchased tickets that aren\u2019t normally refundable.<\/p>\n People wait in a security checkpoint line at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas, on November 4, 2025.
