Insufficient numbers of air traffic controllers, a byproduct of the government shutdown, are affecting travel hubs across the country.
The shortage has led to delays and disruptions, impacting the overall efficiency of air travel. As travel demand remains high, the strain on the reduced workforce continues to challenge the system.
Authorities are working to address the issue, but the effects of the shutdown are expected to persist until a resolution is reached. Travelers are advised to stay informed and plan accordingly.
