FAA lifts order slashing flights, allowing commercial airlines to resume their regular schedules

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced on Sunday that it is lifting all restrictions on commercial flights that were imposed at 40 major airports during the country’s longest government shutdown.

Airlines can resume their regular flight schedules starting Monday at 6 a.m. EST, the agency confirmed.

These restrictions were initially put in place due to safety concerns arising from staffing shortages at air traffic control facilities. With the improvement in staffing levels, the FAA has deemed it safe to remove the limitations and allow normal operations to continue.
