政府停摆导致美国主要机场航班延误

摘要

由于持续的政府停摆导致人员短缺,奥兰多国际机场和罗纳德·里根华盛顿国家机场出现了严重的航班延误。

持续的政府停摆导致美国主要机场因空中交通管制员人员短缺而出现严重航班延误。根据联邦航空管理局(FAA)的通告,周四晚间,奥兰多国际机场(MCO)经历了地面延误,东部时间晚上10点至凌晨3点之间,进港航班平均延误2.7小时。FAA早些时候表示,由于缺乏认证的空中交通管制员,该机场暂时无法接收到达航班。随后,通过增加F11中佛罗里达终端雷达进近管制(TRACON)设施的人员配备,该情况得以缓解。

MCO发言人将地面延误归因于人员配置问题,指出延误计划减少了到达航班的数量,导致乘客平均延误约2.5小时。同样,位于弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的罗纳德·里根华盛顿国家机场也因人员短缺出现地面延误,FAA报告称周四下午1:30至周五凌晨1点间,平均延误90分钟。

这些干扰是影响美国机场的更广泛趋势的一部分,机场正面临人员短缺、延误和取消航班的困境,因为空中交通管制员和运输安全管理局工作人员在停摆期间继续无薪工作。本周早些时候,飞往洛杉矶国际机场的航班因人员短缺被迫暂停,导致临时地面停航,平均延误1小时40分钟。

周二,随着停摆超过30天,联邦雇员包括空中交通管制员收到的工资单显示零收入。对此,达美航空敦促国会立即重新开放政府,警告称缺少工资“只会增加这些关键工作人员的压力,他们中的许多人已经在强制加班,以确保我们的天空安全和保障。”

全国空中交通管制员协会(NATCA),一个工会及航空安全组织,呼吁结束停摆,强调空中交通管制员及其他航空安全专业人员通常每周工作六天,每天工作10小时的艰苦日程。自停摆开始以来,一些人不得不兼职第二份工作以支持家庭和支付账单。
