K INGSFORD, Mich. (WLUC) - As travelers waited to board a flight to Minneapolis at Ford Airport Wednesday morning, airport officials said ridership has been higher than normal for the fall, despite national shortages of air traffic controllers following the federal government shutdown.

The Federal Aviation Administration plans to slash airline capacity at dozens of U.S. airports because of the ongoing government shutdown, including Minneapolis-St. Paul International, according to a proposed list provided to CBS News by a source familiar with the discussions.

MSP is among the 40 airports the FAA asked to reduce flight capacity. Plus, U of M sees drop in students from India; and more.

Can the safety net of food shelves, food banks and other sources fill the gap left by the government shutdown?

The coldest temperatures of the fall season so far led to some scattered flurries this weekend, but a warm trend is expected later this week.
