The 43-day government shutdown could end as soon as this week, as the House prepares to vote on a Senate-passed bill to fund the government through the end of January.
If the bill passes, President Trump could sign it this evening, reopening the government.
However, air travelers shouldn't expect immediate relief. It will take time to restore air travel to full capacity and for employees to receive back pay.
The FAA is reducing flights at 40 major U.S. airports by 10% by Friday, resulting in thousands of flights being canceled or delayed.
40 airports impacted:
Anchorage International (ANC)
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (ATL)
Boston Logan International (BOS)
Baltimore/Washington International (BWI)
Charlotte Douglas International (CLT)
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Inter
