The Federal Aviation Administration’s flight reduction emergency order was terminated as of 6 a.m. Nov. 17.

According to a press release, normal operations can resume across the country, including at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and Love Field in Dallas.
Those were among 40 airports in the United States on the high-impact list for reductions, though international flights were not disrupted.

The details: The FAA safety team recommended the termination of the emergency reduction order following a detailed review of safety trends and the steady decline of staffing-trigger events in air traffic control facilities, according to a news release.

What they’re saying: “Our goal throughout this has remained unchanged: take care of our customers and limit disruption to their travel plans as much as possible,” American Airlines CEO Robert Isom said in a news release. “We’re ready for business and looking forward to serving customers with a full schedule, especially in advance of the Thanksgiving and year-end holidays.”

Google is targeting Texas for future investments in data and artificial infrastructure, with $40 billion expected to be spent on adding three new data centers.

Federal, state and local leaders announced the new centers to be constructed in Armstrong and Haskell counties at a Nov. 14 event at the first Texas Google Data Center in Midlothian, near the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

The gist: One new data center will be constructed in Armstrong County near Amarillo, and two new data centers will be constructed in Haskell County near Abilene. One center in Haskell County will also use a new solar and battery energy storage plant.

“They say that everything is bigger in Texas—and that certainly applies to the golden opportunity with AI,” Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said.

Also of note: The driverless car company Waymo is expanding to North Texas in 2026, Pichai said.
