(CNN) — Federal aviation officials plan to announce Tuesday that flight attendants will soon get more mandated rest time between flights, two sources familiar with the announcement tell CNN.

Airlines were told of the coming rule changes by the Federal Aviation Administration last week, a source familiar with the policy said.
