The list of 40 U.S. airports that on Friday are set to receive 10 percent cuts in capacity mandated by the U.S. Department of Transportation and U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, which the agencies announced Wednesday afternoon, is now available, according to the Associated Press.

Large U.S. carriers, meanwhile, have detailed their plans to manage the cuts.

Delta Air Lines on Thursday morning in statement said it is complying with the FAA and DOT directive and "expects to operate the vast majority of our flights as scheduled, including all long-haul international service, and will work to minimize customer impact while keeping safety our top priority." 

The carrier also published an exception policy allowing a waiver for affected customers during the impacted travel period to change, cancel or refund their flights, including the carrier's basic economy fares, without penalty, according to the airline. The waiver is valid for tickets issued on or before Nov. 6 with affected travel dates between Nov. 7-9 for 39 listed airports. 

United Airlines on its website posted a list of canceled flights due to the mandate through Sunday. The carrier is allowing passengers whose flights are affected to reschedule their trip without change fees or fare differentials, provided the original ticket was purchased on or before Nov. 4, and the new flight "must be a United flight departing between six days before and six days after your original travel date." 

"United's long-haul international flying and our hub-to-hub flying will not be impacted by this schedule reduction from the FAA," United CEO Scott Kirby said in a Wednesday evening statement. "That's important to maintain the integrity of our network, give impacted customers as many options as possible to resume their trip and sustain our crew-pairing systems. Instead, we will focus our schedule reductions on regional flying and domestic mainline flights that do not travel between our hubs."

American Airlines did not immediately respond to a request for affected airports in its network, but Wednesday evening issued a statement that said "we expect the vast majority of our customers' travel will be unaffected. As schedule changes are made, we will proactively reach out to customers who are impacted."

Customers with travel plans to affected airports are advised to check their flights via their airline app or website for updates.
