Airports across the country are seeing increasing delays as staffing shortages in air traffic control facilities continue — now more than a month into the government shutdown. Controllers have been working without pay since the shutdown began on October 1st, and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warns that travelers can expect more canceled and delayed flights the longer the impasse continues. Most air traffic controllers are still covering mandatory six-day workweeks, leaving little opportunity for side jobs to make ends meet.

Controllers have been working without pay since the shutdown began on Oct. 1, and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has been warning that travelers will see more flights delayed or canceled the longer they go without a paycheck. The Federal Aviation Administration reported staffing-related delays on Friday at airports in Boston, Nashville, Houston, Dallas, and Newark, New Jersey.
