Airports Impacted by Government Shutdown
Some airports are experiencing three-hour lines, while dozens have faced shutdown-related delays due to absences among air traffic controllers and TSA screeners.
These employees, along with around 600,000 federal employees, are working without pay, and many have opted to call out to pursue other ways to make ends meet.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the number of callouts surged over the weekend and “strained staffing levels at multiple facilities,”
This has led to operational pressures on key agencies, resulting in widespread impacts across the national airspace system.
