美国主要机场因空中交通管制员短缺导致延误

摘要

空中交通管制员人员短缺导致美国各地机场出现严重延误,奥兰多国际机场受影响最为严重。

周四,空中交通管制员缺勤导致多家美国机场出现严重延误和临时停航。奥兰多国际机场遭遇最严重的中断,联邦航空管理局(FAA)警告称,在一段时间内,“由于没有认证的交通管制员可用,所有航班将无法降落”。截至周四晚,该机场报告平均延误约2小时40分钟,部分航班延误接近12小时,且有多班航班被取消。

类似的人员短缺也影响了其他主要机场。纽约市的约翰·F·肯尼迪国际机场因空中交通管制人员不足,对部分航班实施了地面停飞措施,加剧了由暴风雨和飞机紧急情况引发的延误。华盛顿特区附近的罗纳德·里根国家机场在整个下午和晚上也经历了延误。

这些中断发生之际,副总统JD·范斯和交通部长肖恩·达菲警告称,如果政府关闭持续到十一月,将面临“灾难”。他们强调,假期出行季节和日益恶化的冬季天气将增加对已经无薪工作的空中交通管制员的需求。达菲表示:“我们很多人可以应付一次工资的缺失,但没有人能撑过两次。”

FAA一直在应对长期的空中交通管制员短缺问题。尽管2023年新招聘了1500名管制员,但该机构仍比全国目标的1.4万名认证管制员短缺3000多人。这种短缺导致管制员必须加班,疲劳加剧,引发对航空安全的担忧。FAA已启动诸如空中交通大学培训计划等项目,以加快新管制员的培训和招聘,但全面解决人员短缺问题可能需要数年时间。

针对当前情况,FAA表示航空仍是最安全的出行方式,且该机构正在管理空中交通,确保没有任何设施承担超过其管制员能力的工作负荷。然而,持续的人手问题仍给航空业和旅客带来挑战。
