TL;DR Summary

The ongoing U.S. government shutdown has led to severe air travel disruptions, including increased cancellations and delays, worsened by shortages of air traffic controllers who are unpaid and under stress. President Trump threatened to dock controllers' pay if they do not return to work, amid calls for increased support and pay for airline staff. The shutdown has caused widespread inconvenience, affecting hundreds of thousands of travelers and prompting airlines to offer extra pay and waive fees, while private aviation is also impacted. The situation raises safety concerns and highlights the need for a resolution to the shutdown.
