The Federal Aviation Administration is cutting flights at 40 U.S. airports beginning Friday, Nov. 7, as air traffic controllers and TSA agents continue to go unpaid during the government shutdown.

As promised, the Trump administration followed through on cancelling flights due to the federal shutdown and its effects on air traffic controllers.

Domestic air travel will be cut by up to 10% at 40 major airports, resulting in thousands of cancelled flights in the coming days.

The Senate is expected to vote on legislation that could potentially end the government shutdown when it reconvenes on Friday, Nov. 7.

The US is experiencing the longest government shutdown in history and partisan frustrations remain high on Capitol Hill.

The longest government shutdown in U.S. history continues to disrupt economic data releases with the October jobs report delayed until after the shutdown ends.

The government shutdown on Wednesday entered its 36th day, officially becoming the longest shutdown in U.S. history. That means the two longest shutdowns in American politics have occurred under President Donald Trump, with the previous 35-day record having been set during his first term in 2019.

Senate Republicans are drafting a new bipartisan spending package aimed at ending the government shutdown, challenging Democrats to support it.
