The federal government says it will reduce flights during the ongoing shutdown, which has left TSA officers and air traffic controllers without pay. Travelers through Raleigh-Durham International Airport should brace for impact.
Why it matters: The Federal Aviation Administration's list of 40 airports that will see cuts includes Charlotte Douglas International (CLT) and 33 others with direct flights into RDU.
What they're saying: Bill Sandifer, chief development officer at RDU, said yesterday that airport staff were waiting to hear how the airlines plan to manage the disruption.
"I mean, there will be impacts. I don't think there's any question, right?" Sandifer said, adding that he didn't expect the situation would make for "a fun day for a traveler."
