Traffic at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport was quieter than usual Monday afternoon as airlines cancelled dozens of flights amid a shortage of air traffic controllers.

The Federal Aviation Administration last week ordered cuts at 40 of the country’s busiest airports – including DFW and Dallas Love Field – because of the ongoing federal government shutdown now in its sixth week.

The FAA’s order closed off DFW to general aviation and non-scheduled aircraft for most of Monday. Exceptions included DFW-based aircraft, emergencies, medical flights, law enforcement, firefighting or military operations.

The company FlightAware reported 107 cancellations at DFW as of 5 p.m. Monday, and 21 at Love Field.
