The US has lifted its emergency order to cut flights across the country, just in time for the busy Thanksgiving travel period.

According to BBC News, the Transport Department said enough air traffic controllers are now coming to work, which has alleviated safety concerns.

The recent Government shutdown saw a rise in absences of air traffic controllers, who, as essential employees, were required to work without pay.

Now, with the end of the shutdown, controllers are set to receive back pay, and no longer face threats of being fired for absences.
