The Federal Aviation Administration has announced that government shutdown-related flight cuts will end on Monday at 6 a.m.
The lifting of flight restrictions will set airports back on a path to step up travel just before Thanksgiving.
The FAA made the announcement in a Sunday evening press release, stating that it had conducted reviews of safety trends before lifting its flight reduction emergency order. According to the FAA, the number of staffing triggers — a situation where the number of air traffic controllers on duty falls below a minimum required level — dropped to one on Sunday, from a record high of 81 on November 8.
