U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Federal Aviation Administration Administrator Bryan Bedford announced yesterday that the agency’s flight reduction emergency order will be terminated on Monday. “This means normal operations can resume across the National Airspace System,” the agency said in a statement. “The FAA safety team recommended the termination of the order following their detailed reviews of safety trends and the steady decline of staffing-trigger events in air traffic control facilities,” it added. “Today’s decision to rescind the order reflectres the steady decline in staffing concerns across the NAS and allows us to return to normal operations,” said FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford. Publicly traded companies in the airlines space include Alaska Air (ALK), American Airlines (AAL), Delta Air Lines (DAL), Frontier Group (ULCC), JetBlue (JBLU), Southwest (LUV), Sun Country Airlines (SNCY) and United Airlines (UAL).
