U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said his department decided not to immediately cut 10% of flights amid the government shutdown because it "could be even more disruptive," instead opting to phase them starting at 4%.

Duffy said safety data was behind the move, including incidents of planes not maintaining separation and ground incursions.
