Attention travellers! Will the US govt shutdown affect your flights, trains as federal services get impacted? Know here
US government shutdown: With the US government completely shut down, all essential services have been halted. For now, the skies are open and planes are flying, but cracks could start to show if the standoff drags on.
Air traffic controllers and TSA officers – classified as “essential” service providers – are still on the job but will not receive their pay until the shutdown ends. However, airline representatives warn that flight systems may “need to slow down, reducing efficiency”, according to Airlines for America, as reported by the BBC.
