The U.S. government shutdown has rattled air travel — most recently with an unprecedented effort from the Federal Aviation Administration to cut flights by 10% at airports nationwide. And the disruptions are causing some to instead hit the road or buy a train ticket. That could mean more and more business for car rentals, long-haul buses and commuter rails like Amtrak — particularly if flight delays and cancellations continue piling up as the U.S. approaches Thanksgiving and other peak holiday travel. Amid the latest scramble, Hertz is already reporting a sharp increase in one-way car rentals. Meanwhile, Both Amtrak and Greyhound owner Flix North America are also preparing for potential growing demand.
A new bill introduced in the Delaware House of Representatives could alter how businesses and individuals deduct expenses on their state tax returns by breaking with recent federal tax changes.
The Federal Aviation Administration's order to scale back flights nationwide because of the government shutdown starts Friday. Flights at 40 major airports including in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago will be cut. The FAA says its goal is to reduce flights by up to 10% to ease pressure on unpaid air traffic controllers. Hundreds scheduled for Friday already have been canceled. The impact is expected to be felt across the U.S. air transportation system, affecting both passengers and package deliveries.
