📌 Over 1,400 U.S. Flights Canceled Amid Ongoing Government Shutdown
More than 1,400 flights within, to, or from the United States were canceled on Saturday, while around 6,000 others were delayed, after authorities ordered airlines to reduce air traffic operations due to the ongoing federal shutdown. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced up to a 10% capacity reduction at 40 major airports, as air traffic controllers continued working without pay, leading to widespread fatigue. The highest cancellations were reported at Newark, Charlotte/Douglas, and Chicago O’Hare, where arrival delays averaged over four hours.
📌 UK Sends Military Support to Belgium After Suspected Russian Drone Incursions
The United Kingdom announced it is deploying military support to Belgium following a series of suspected Russian drone incursions into Belgian airspace. Chief of Defense Staff Richard Knighton confirmed that British personnel and equipment are being sent to Belgium after a formal request from Brussels, which temporarily closed Zaventem Airport due to drone activity. Defense Secretary John Healey said the move demonstrates NATO unity in countering “hybrid threats,” while Germany also pledged similar assistance. Belgium warned that such incursions now pose a serious threat to Europe’s civilian and military infrastructure.
