DENVER (KDVR) — Denver International Airport is continuing to see the effects of the Federal Aviation Administration's plan to reduce air traffic amid a historic government shutdown that still shows no sign of ending.
Nearly 70 flights, 67 total, were cancelled by 10 a.m. at DIA Sunday morning, according to FlightAware, and another 133 flights were delayed.
Here is a look at the delays and cancellations at DIA as of 10 a.m. Sunday:

DEN is aware of the FAA's announcement to reduce air traffic and are monitoring the situation. We remain focused on keeping operations at DEN running smoothly. We advise passengers to check with their airlines for the latest information pertaining to delays or cancellations."
The FAA last week ordered airlines servicing 40 markets across the U.S., including Denver, to reduce flights as the longest government shutdown in U.S. history continues. The order comes as air traffic controllers calling out of work as financial pressure mounts amid the shutdown.
Sunday's number of canceled fights at DIA is right around the number canceled on Friday and Saturday.
Nationwide, more than 1,800 flights were canceled Sunday morning, and nearly 14,000 flights have been delayed, according to FlightAware, but it could start getting worse this week.
The number of cancellations could jump from the initial 10% reduction of flights to 15% or 20%, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on Fox News on Friday.
As well as commercial flights, the reduction order could put strain on air cargo ahead of one of peak holiday shipping time.
