Duffy: 20% flight reductions possible

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned on Friday that if the government shutdown continues, he may require airlines to reduce their flight schedules by as much as 20%. Airlines were already rushing to comply with new government orders to scale back operations. The Federal Aviation Administration directed airlines to cancel 4% of flights at 40 major airports on Friday, with those cuts expected to increase to 10% by November 14.
