Anxious travelers across the U.S. felt a bit of relief Friday as airlines mostly stayed on schedule while still cutting more than 1,000 flights largely because of the government shutdown.

Major airlines including American, Delta, and United have responded to the FAA's decision to reduce flights by 10% at 40 airports starting Friday.

Delta Airlines said in an update that it expects the “vast majority” of its flights not to be affected by the government’s decision and go ahead as scheduled. While complying with the government directive by reducing its domestic flights, its international flights won’t be affected.
