The NYT reported the delay of many flights to the United States due to the shutdown

In the United States, a shortage of dispatchers due to the shutdown led to flight delays. This was reported on October 30 by The New York Times (NYT).

"Due to the lack of air traffic controllers, airport operations were delayed or temporarily suspended, as the Trump administration warned of a worsening situation due to lack of salaries for employees," the material says.

The publication writes that the greatest problems with staff were observed at Orlando International Airport. They warned that incoming planes would not be able to land for some time due to the lack of certified flight controllers. By Thursday evening, some flights were postponed for almost 12 hours, and some were canceled.

In addition, the shortage of specialists also led to disruptions at Ronald Reagan National Airport, where delays were recorded in the afternoon and evening.
