Denver Airport Seeks FAA Waiver to Avoid Flight Cuts

Denver International Airport, the third-busiest in the US, is seeking a special waiver from the FAA to avoid significant flight reductions due to the ongoing government shutdown. The FAA plans to cut flight capacity by ten percent at forty major airports, including Denver, due to staffing shortages. Denver Mayor Mike Johnston emphasized the airports critical role in the regions economy, with over eighty-two million passengers last year and billions of dollars in tourism revenue. The city submitted its waiver request but has not yet received a response from the FAA. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story. AI Powered. Hosted on Acast.
