Airlines will need time to adjust schedules and staffing even after the shutdown ends, major airlines warned. The warning comes just two weeks before the busiest travel days ahead of Thanksgiving and as air traffic controllers miss their second full paycheck since the shutdown began on Oct. 1.

United Airlines has asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit claiming it unfairly charged passengers extra money to sit in "window seats" that, to their surprise, lacked windows.

The longest government shutdown in history could soon come to an end , but the airline sector is still suffering its impact, with many flights delayed or canceled.

Flight cancellations represent a significant disruption for airlines, as well as passengers. It won't be easy to achieve a new normal.

Air travel disruptions worsened on Monday as the longest-ever U.S. government shutdown continued. Air traffic controllers missed their second paycheck of the shutdown.

Trump administration officials ordered commercial airlines to cut hundreds of flights, citing strains on air traffic control during the government shutdown. Air traffic controllers are set to miss their second full paycheck next week because of the shutdown.

For Wall Street, flight cancellations may not be the worst thing.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration on Thursday ordered airlines to cut domestic flight operations by 4% at 40 high-traffic airports starting at 6 a.m. ET (1100 GMT) on Friday, citing safety concerns about air traffic control during the government shutdown.
