Caribbean Airlines Ltd (CAL) has confirmed that its operations remain unaffected despite recent guidance from the US Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) urging airlines to reduce flights at 40 of the nation’s busiest airports. The FAA’s directive, issued as the US government shutdown extended into its 38th day, calls for a ten per cent reduction in flights to alleviate congestion. CAL, which operates flights to and from four major US airports—John F. Kennedy (JFK) in New York, Miami International (MIA), Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL), and Orlando International (MCO) in Florida—has assured passengers that all its US-bound and departing flights are proceeding as scheduled. However, the airline has advised travelers with connecting domestic flights within the US to stay in touch with their respective airline representatives for updates. CAL also encouraged passengers to register for real-time travel notifications via its official website and social media channels to stay informed. The FAA’s list of affected airports includes prominent hubs such as Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (ATL), Los Angeles International (LAX), and Chicago O’Hare International (ORD), among others. While the broader aviation sector grapples with the impact of the shutdown, CAL remains steadfast in maintaining its service continuity.
