The end of the shutdown means airlines can work to resume normal operations. But there’s still a few hurdles in the way.

Passengers and airlines serving Maui County and other parts of the Hawaiian Islands are scrambling to change their schedules to comply with a federal order to reduce flights to Hawaii by 10% by Nov. 14.

Delta Air Lines will comply with an FAA order to cut flights at 40 major U.S. airports starting Friday, likely including Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson, while offering flexible options for travelers affected by the reductions.

In a letter sent Thursday to U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, state DOT Director Ed Sniffen requested a waiver from the FAA’s planned reductions, which include Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu among 40 high-traffic airports facing cuts.

The government shutdown has led to numerous flight cancellations and delays coming into and out of Southern California airports over the weekend.

A new route connects the islands and one of the LA area's easiest hubs, meaning you can be on the island in six hours without going through LAX.

The FAA has lifted its flight-reduction emergency order and allowed normal operations to resume across the National Airspace System.
