Airports across the United States are experiencing significant delays as the federal government shutdown continues to impact operations. On Sunday, ground stops were issued at major airports, including Newark, Boston, and Los Angeles, causing widespread disruptions for travelers.
The ongoing shutdown has forced air traffic controllers to work without pay, contributing to the delays. According to Reuters, the federal government has warned that if the shutdown persists, further flight delays are likely. In addition to staffing issues, adverse weather conditions also played a role in the delays experienced on Sunday.
The situation has raised concerns among travelers and industry experts about the potential long-term effects on the aviation industry. With no resolution to the shutdown in sight, passengers are advised to check with airlines for the latest updates on their flights and to prepare for possible delays.
