Airlines have said international flights will not be reduced at the 40 airports where the FAA has ordered cuts.
Airlines did not wait for an announcement, notifying passengers and airports of expected changes before the Trump administration made official its list of affected airports.
Plans to cut flights have left travelers angry and anxious. Some tried to move their travel plans up, while others were trying to figure out alternatives in case their flights were canceled.
According to the AAA Texas Weekend Gas Watch, the average price for regular unleaded gasoline across Texas is $2.64 per gallon.
With flight reductions beginning Friday at 40 major U.S. airports, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said safety is his top priority — but he declined to share information about the data that led to the decision to cut capacity.
