交通部长警告航班延误，因空中交通管制员面临财务压力
摘要
交通部长肖恩·达菲强调，随着政府停摆，空中交通管制员面临财务困难，可能导致航班延误。
交通部长肖恩·达菲对空中交通管制员在持续的政府停摆期间为应对财务困难而从事额外工作的情况表示担忧。在众议院共和党新闻发布会上，达菲指出，管制员在资金中断期间被要求无薪工作，他们正在寻求第二份工作以满足财务需求。他强调，管制员应专注于其主要职责，以确保空域安全。
达菲还表示，随着停摆持续，他无法保证航班准时起飞或防止取消。众议院议长迈克·约翰逊援引FlightAware数据报告称，从周六到周一，共有19,000个航班延误，1,600个航班被取消。达菲解释说，空中交通管制员人手不足可能导致有意减少航班流量以保障乘客安全。他表示，如果无法确保安全运营，乘客将面临延误和取消。
