Airport officials and passengers got their first look Friday at what flight reductions at 40 of the nation’s busiest airports will look like.
Morning operations at Harry Reid International Airport were typical for a Friday, but they’re expected to get worse through next week as more and more flights are canceled.
The Federal Aviation Administration and U.S. Department of Transportation leaders said airlines were required to cancel 4 percent of their flights Friday to relieve strain on the air traffic control system and maintain a high level of safety.
But the cancellation level will ramp up to 6 percent on Tuesday, 8 percent on Thursday and 10 percent on Nov. 14, federal officials said.
