航空公司首席执行官警告政府长期停摆可能带来的影响

摘要

联合航空首席执行官斯科特·柯比和达美航空首席执行官埃德·巴斯蒂安表达了对联邦政府长期停摆可能对航空运营和预订产生负面影响的担忧。

联合航空首席执行官斯科特·柯比表示,因资金僵局于10月1日开始的联邦政府持续停摆,如果持续下去,可能会对航空预订产生负面影响。在周四的财报电话会议上,柯比指出,尽管停摆尚未影响联合航空的业务,但长期的不确定性可能导致消费者信心下降。他表示:“我认为至少在最初几周,人们认为问题会得到解决,所以他们基本上照常进行业务。但随着时间推移,人们看到新闻标题说‘问题不会很快解决’,人们开始对政府及其解决问题的能力失去信心。这将开始影响预订量。”

柯比强调,随着停摆持续,每一天对美国经济的风险都在增加,他希望能迅速达成解决方案,以避免不必要的经济损失。同样,达美航空首席执行官埃德·巴斯蒂安最近表示,虽然目前达美的运营尚未受到影响,但长期停摆可能导致运营中断。巴斯蒂安特别提到对空中交通管制员紧缺的担忧,指出这一短缺问题一直存在。

联邦航空管理局表示,停摆引发了对空中交通管制员本已人手不足的担忧。上周,部分联邦航空管理局设施人员不足,导致包括田纳西州纳什维尔和加利福尼亚州伯班克机场的航班受到干扰。代表美国空中交通管制员的工会成员周二在纽约拉瓜迪亚机场、华盛顿特区和芝加哥发放传单,呼吁公众敦促立法者结束停摆。2018年底开始的一个多月停摆,在纽约地区因空中交通管制员短缺导致航班混乱数小时后结束。
