The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is poised to lift all flight restrictions at major U.S. airports following a protracted government shutdown that recently threw the aviation industry into disarray.

On Sunday, the FAA announced an end to the 3 percent reduction in operations at select airports, with plans to restore “normal operating levels” by 6:00 a.m. on Monday.

“I want to express my gratitude to the FAA’s dedicated safety team for maintaining the security of our skies during the longest government shutdown in U.S. history,” stated Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy in a press release issued on Sunday. “I also thank the public for prioritizing safety during this time.”

He further credited President Trump’s leadership for enabling air traffic controllers to return to work, allowing normal operations to resume.

Earlier in the week, Duffy had cautioned about the potential for “significantly greater disruption” in air travel if the shutdown had extended into the weekend.

Last week, the Senate voted to end the recent government shutdown, which had been ongoing for more than a month. The upper chamber voted 60-40 on a bill to fund military construction, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Agriculture and the legislative branch through the end of September, and the rest of the government for the next two and a half months.

The FAA and Transportation Department had previously said flight reductions would go down from 6 percent to 3 percent over the weekend at 40 major airports.

“I am grateful for the hard work of the FAA safety and operations teams and for their focus on the safety of the traveling public,” FAA Administration Bryan Bedford also said in the release.
