Officials at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have warned that the situation is becoming increasingly unsustainable and said on Wednesday that it was taking the extraordinary step of reducing air traffic by 10% across 40 \u201chigh-volume\u201d markets beginning today (November 7) to maintain travel safety as air traffic controllers exhibit signs of strain during the ongoing government shutdown."}
