Digest more
The FAA will temporarily limit the hours that commercial space launches can take place, citing strains on airspace during the government shutdown.
The 12 airports are part of the 40 included in the FAA’s Emergency Order to reduce operations during the government shutdown. Business aircraft operators should also prepare for further delays and restrictions at any of those 40 airports, NBAA advises.
Operations will now be reduced by only 6% between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. local time at high-impact airports.
