Resumen

El cierre continuo del gobierno ha provocado retrasos significativos en los vuelos en todo Estados Unidos, ya que la escasez de personal en el control del tráfico aéreo afecta a los principales aeropuertos.

La Administración Federal de Aviación (FAA) ha reportado retrasos significativos en vuelos en varios aeropuertos de Estados Unidos debido a la escasez de personal en el control del tráfico aéreo, coincidiendo con el séptimo día del cierre del gobierno.

Los aeropuertos que experimentan retrasos notables incluyen el Aeropuerto Internacional de Nashville, el Aeropuerto Internacional Newark Liberty y el Aeropuerto Internacional O'Hare de Chicago. En Newark, los vuelos que llegaban enfrentaron demoras de hasta 30 minutos, mientras que en Chicago O'Hare se reportaron retrasos promedio de 41 minutos.

El control del tráfico aéreo en Nashville enfrenta problemas significativos de personal, lo que ha llevado a una reducción en las operaciones. La FAA indicó que las responsabilidades del control de aproximación serían transferidas al Centro de Memphis para manejar la situación.

El Secretario de Transporte, Sean Duffy, reconoció un ligero aumento en el número de controladores aéreos que llaman enfermos desde que comenzó el cierre. Enfatizó que la seguridad sigue siendo la máxima prioridad, afirmando: "Si no tenemos controladores, nos aseguraremos de que el espacio aéreo sea seguro. Por eso, lo que hacemos es reducir la velocidad del tráfico."

La Asociación Nacional de Controladores de Tráfico Aéreo destacó la escasez nacional existente de controladores, señalando que incluso unas pocas ausencias por enfermedad pueden afectar significativamente las operaciones, especialmente en aeropuertos más pequeños.

Los datos de seguimiento de vuelos de FlightAware indicaron que más de 2,500 vuelos se retrasaron el martes, incluyendo aproximadamente 200 en Nashville y casi 500 en Chicago O'Hare.

Durante el cierre del gobierno en 2019, un aumento en las ausencias entre los controladores y los oficiales de la Administración de Seguridad en el Transporte llevó a tiempos de espera prolongados en los puntos de control y obligó a reducir la velocidad del tráfico aéreo en Nueva York, presionando a los legisladores para resolver el impasse rápidamente.
