3 biggest US airlines to cancel hundreds of flights: Here’s what each carrier is offering

Three of America’s biggest airlines have begun cancelling hundreds of flights because the country’s aviation system is struggling under the government shutdown. US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy explained that even before the shutdown, the country was short about 2,000 air traffic controllers. Now, with the shutdown being one of the longest in US history, many controllers have been furloughed or are working without pay. Some have stopped coming in and are taking side jobs just to pay their bills.
