The Indianapolis International Airport is one of 40 selected by the Federal Aviation Administration to cut flights by 10-percent due to the government shutdown.

It will start reducing its flights starting today (Friday).  The now longest shutdown in history has already led to air traffic control staffing shortages as the federal workers continue to go without pay.

 

According to flightaware.com, the Indianapolis Airport has cancelled 14 flights for today (Friday).  People with flights out of the airport should check with their airlines for possible cancellations.
