US airlines cancelled more than 1,300 flights on Saturday amid a federal government shutdown that has strained air traffic control staffing. The Federal Aviation Administration ordered a 4% reduction in flights at 40 major airports starting Friday due to safety concerns from controller shortages. Further cuts are expected next week as absenteeism rises.
