In the USA, the number of flights may be reduced by up to 20% due to the shutdown
The suspension of the work of the US federal government (shutdown) may lead to a reduction in the number of flights by up to 20%. This was reported on November 8 by NBC News.
"Hundreds of flights in one of the busiest weeks of the year may be disrupted due to a shortage of air traffic controllers," the article says.
Sean Duffy, the country's transportation minister, warned that flying anywhere in the country on Thanksgiving Day is likely to be a real challenge for many travelers.
In addition, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has already demanded a 4% reduction in the number of flights at the 40 busiest airports in the country. The reduction will affect major airports such as Chicago O'Hare, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta, Miami and all three airports in New York.
On November 6, it was reported that the shutdown led to the cancellation of 60% of flights at the three largest airports in the US state of New York.
NBS News reported on November 5 that the shutdown, which began at midnight on October 1, became the longest in U.S. history. At the same time, according to Bloomberg, the shutdown brings down the American economy by up to $30 billion every week, posing a major threat to the economy as the situation has become more unstable.
