Delta & Southwest Airlines Cancel Nearly 1,000 Combined Flights To Comply With FAA Directive

Two of America’s biggest carriers have cancelled almost 1,000 flights combined, as the airlines follow the directive set out by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Last week, the FAA took the unprecedented step to request all major carriers to shave 10% of their scheduled operations at 40 of the busiest airports around the country. This led to many airlines scrambling to reduce services and increased levels of travel anxiety among passengers.
