U.S. airlines cancelled more than 1,000 flights and delayed more than 3,000 others on Friday as passengers scrambled to rejig their schedules after Donald Trump’s administration ordered flight reductions at major airports.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy ordered 10 percent flight cuts to start Friday at 40 U.S. airports, including those in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, citing safety issues and staff shortages during the ongoing government shutdown.
