Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Friday he expects more flight delays and disruptions over the next week as the government shutdown impacts the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
“Coming into this weekend and then the week after, I think you are going to see even more disruptions in the airspace,” Duffy said on Fox News.
The government shutdown has forced 13,000 air traffic controllers and 50,000 Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers to work without pay, sparking staffing shortages at multiple airports including the major hubs of Orlando, Dallas/Fort Worth and Washington, D.C.
