The FAA announced they will cut air traffic by 10% at 40 major airports starting tomorrow if the government shutdown continues. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is warning there will be "mass chaos" next week.
The FAA's plan to slash airline capacity due to the government shutdown could hit some of the nation's busiest airports, including in Atlanta, Dallas, New York City and Los Angeles, according to a proposed list obtained by CBS News.
"This is about where’s the pressure and how do we alleviate the pressure," Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said.
