Sacramento International Airport said it may see some ripple effects after the Federal Aviation Administration ordered a reduction in flights across the country to cope with the government shutdown and federal air traffic controllers working without pay.
According to FlightAware, six SMF departures are canceled for Friday, and five arrivals are canceled. It's unclear whether those cancellations are directly tied to the reduction in flights, as Sacramento is not one of the 40 cities the FAA is targeting .
The number of departures canceled is higher in other cities, such as Chicago at 40, Atlanta at 37, Denver at 34, and Los Angeles at 27.
The FAA ordered a reduction of 4% of flights starting Friday and deepening that reduction to 10% next week.
SMF has non-stop flights to 13
