联邦航空管理局将在持续的政府停摆期间将40个主要机场的航班削减10%

摘要

由于长期政府停摆导致人员短缺,联邦航空管理局将从周五开始在美国40个主要机场削减10%的航班。

联邦航空管理局(FAA)宣布计划从周五早晨开始,在40个高流量市场将航空交通量减少10%,以在持续的政府停摆期间保持安全。

交通部长肖恩·达菲表示,由于空中交通管制员人员短缺,这一削减是必要的。自10月1日停摆开始以来,管制员一直无薪工作。一些管制员已请假缺勤,导致全国范围内的航班延误。

FAA局长布莱恩·贝德福德强调了采取主动措施的必要性,指出停摆造成的人员压力日益加剧。他提到,机构将与航空公司高管会面,商讨如何安全实施航班削减。

受影响的具体机场尚未公布,但预计削减将影响包括纽约市、华盛顿特区、芝加哥、亚特兰大、洛杉矶和达拉斯等主要枢纽机场。

政府停摆现已进入第36天,迫使1.3万名空中交通管制员和5万名运输安全管理局(TSA)人员无薪工作,加剧了人员短缺,导致航班大面积延误和安检排队时间延长。

达菲警告称,如果停摆持续,FAA可能不得不采取额外措施,包括可能关闭部分美国领空,这可能导致航空系统出现“全面混乱”。
