Dozens of flights at Logan Airport in Boston were canceled Friday and Saturday as cuts ordered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) began due to the government shutdown.

The Trump administration will ground 10 per cent of flights across 40 major US airports unless a deal to end the federal government shutdown is reached.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the move “isn’t about politics — it’s about assessing the data and alleviating building risk in the system as controllers continue to work without pay.”
