FAA bans private jets at major airports as travel chaos worsens during shutdown
The FAA has imposed restrictions on most private jets at 12 major U.S. airports due to air traffic staffing shortages caused by the government shutdown, which has also led to significant delays and cancellations for commercial flights. The restrictions aim to ensure safety amid the staffing crisis, affecting airports like JFK, LAX, and DCA, while commercial airlines have been asked to cut schedules to alleviate pressure on air traffic controllers.
