Total Cancellations: 38

CURRENT STATUS: Normal Operations

On Monday, November 17, 2025 the FAA cancelled the Emergency Order limiting flights at 40 Airports. Normal Operations resumed at 7am Eastern Time.

On Wednesday, November 5, 2025 US Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, announced a 10% thinning of airline schedules at 40 high volume markets to maintain safety. On Thursday, November 6, 2025, the FAA released an Emergency Order outlining a tiered reduction in service to these airports. Following the US Government re-opening the FAA issued a replacement emergency order on Wednesday, November 12, 2025 freezing the the tiered flight cancellations at 6%. On Friday, November 14, 2025 the FAA issued an addendum to the November 12 Emergency Order reducing the tiered flight cancellations from 6% to 3% effective 6am on November 15, 2025. The Emergency Order is open ended and will remain in effect until cancelled by the FAA.

While PWM is not on the list, 97% of our flights operate to or from 15 markets on the list. We anticipate a significant number of delays and potential cancellations on our flights and a significant number of cancellations throughout the national airspace system tied to this initiative. Customers are encouraged to check their flight status before leaving for the airport. Flights on or after Friday, November 7, 2025 are likely to be impacted through the end of the government shutdown.

Each airline is formulating their own plan to accommodate this Emergency Order. Below are links to current information from each of our airlines.
