Follow live updates as flight reductions begin today at 40 high-traffic airports in what officials have described as a "proactive" effort to alleviate pressure points.
Air travel disruptions were continuing on Tuesday across the United States, with more than 1,100 flights canceled before dawn, according to a fight-data tracker. Some 541 flights within, into or out of the United States also were delayed by about 5 a.m. ET, according to FlightAware, along with the 1,156 that had been canceled.
Holiday traffic during the busiest times of the year is threatened during a flight reduction, and stopping the shutdown won't help right away.
