US Airlines Face Continued Disruptions Amid Ongoing Shutdown
TL;DR Summary
US airlines canceled 1,200 flights on Tuesday as air traffic control staffing improved amid the ongoing government shutdown, which has caused widespread flight delays and cancellations. The FAA has been reducing flight numbers due to staffing shortages, but improvements in controller availability are leading to potential easing of restrictions as the shutdown nears an end. The Senate has approved legislation to end the shutdown, with the House set to vote, which could further stabilize air travel.
