The federal government shutdown is over, but Seattle-Tacoma International Airport staff do not yet know when the flight schedule will get back to normal.

It was the seventh day since the Federal Aviation Administration ordered major airports like Sea-Tac to reduce flights by 10% by Nov. 14. The airport has now seen nearly 300 flights canceled, with 42 on Wednesday, 54 on Tuesday, 49 on Monday, 45 on Sunday, 33 on Saturday and 29 on Friday.

Sea-Tac facilitates anywhere from 1,100 to 1,300 flights a day, airport spokesperson Kassie McKnight-Xi said.
