Edward Segal, an expert in crisis management and the author of "The Crisis Casebook" says the FAA's decision to cancel flights is the best way to manage and avoid a crisis. He sits down with FOX LOCAL's Eric Perry for a full discussion on what he says the positives are.

As flights continue to be canceled amid the shutdown, that could affect air cargo – which could eventually ripple into the supply chain and holiday deliveries. Here’s what to know.

The FAA’s 10% reduction in domestic flights, combined with the MD-11 grounding and ongoing federal shutdown, could strain U.S. holiday air cargo, though trucks and contingency plans may mitigate delays.

While not all of the canceled flights were caused by the FAA-mandated cuts, airlines have reported cutting hundreds of flights due to the order.

Air traffic controllers, along with airport security screeners, are required to work during the shutdown without receiving their regular paychecks. Federal workers will miss their second full paycheck on Monday, according to their union. Some controllers have taken second jobs to make ends meet, union officials have said.

The FAA will reduce air traffic at 40 airports beginning Friday. Philadelphia International Airport is among those expecting flight cuts and delays. Talks between Democrats and Republicans to end the shutdown are intensifying,
