LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — As of 4 p.m. Wednesday, Harry Reid International Airport reported 13 flight cancellations , with additional delays stacking up throughout the afternoon. Airport officials continue urging travelers to check their flight status frequently as the nationwide impact of the ongoing government shutdown deepens.

The shutdown has led to staffing shortages among both air traffic controllers and TSA agents, many of whom are currently working without pay, prompting the FAA to begin reducing flight capacity at 40 major airports across the country. Those cuts have fueled a rise in delays and cancellations nationwide, including in Las Vegas.
