LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX18) — The United States is still in it's longest government shutdown in history, and with the holidays around the coroner, major flight delays are being seen across the country.

Friday was the first day of FAA's flight cuts seen at the country's 40 busiest airports, including two in Kentucky.

Airlines are scrambling to adjust schedules following the FAA ordering 40 major airports to scale back air traffic and cancel flights.

Some of the airports that coule face cuts are Chicago, Atlanta, Louisville, and Cincinnati
