TRAVEL FLASH - November 13, 2025

Breaking: FAA flight cuts trigger widespread cancellations and refund obligations amid U.S. government shutdown

TOP 3 STORIES:
1. The FAA’s emergency order to reduce flights at 40 major U.S. airports has led to over 8,000 cancellations since Friday, with airlines required to provide refunds for affected passengers regardless of the cause of disruption [3][4]. Travel professionals should anticipate ongoing delays and advise clients to monitor airline communications for rebooking options and refund eligibility.

2. Delta Air Lines and Korean Air have finalized their acquisition of a 25% stake in WestJet, signaling deeper transatlantic and North American integration and potential for expanded codeshare and loyalty benefits for travelers [1]. This partnership may streamline connections and increase competitive pressure on transborder routes.

3. TAP Air Portugal is launching a new Lisbon-Curitiba route starting July 2026, marking its 14th Brazilian destination and strengthening the airline’s position as Europe’s leading carrier to South America [5]. This expansion offers new opportunities for business and leisure travel between southern Europe and Brazil, with ticket sales beginning November 11.

Flash Insight: The ongoing U.S. government shutdown is severely disrupting air travel, with airlines forced to cut capacity and passengers facing significant delays and cancellations. Industry stakeholders must prioritize clear communication and flexible policies to maintain customer trust during this period of uncertainty. Meanwhile, international airline partnerships and route expansions continue to reshape global connectivity, offering new options for travelers despite domestic challenges.
