联邦航空管理局将在政府停摆期间对40个高流量市场的空中交通量减少10%

摘要

联邦航空管理局宣布自周五起,在40个主要市场减少10%的空中交通量,原因是政府停摆导致人员短缺,出于安全考虑采取此措施。

联邦航空管理局(FAA)宣布,自周五上午起,在40个高流量市场减少10%的空中交通量,以在持续的政府停摆期间保障安全。此举预计将影响全国数千个航班,FAA每天管理超过44,000个航班,包括商业航班、货运和私人飞机。

自10月1日停摆开始以来,空中交通管制员一直无薪工作,导致人员短缺和美国多个机场的航班延误。FAA局长布莱恩·贝德福德强调了采取积极行动的必要性,他表示:

“我们不能忽视这个问题。”

贝德福德和交通部长肖恩·达菲计划与航空公司高管会面,讨论这些减量措施的实施。受影响的具体机场将于周四公布。达菲警告称,如果停摆持续,可能需要采取进一步措施,包括潜在的空域关闭,以确保安全。

包括联合航空、西南航空和美国航空在内的主要航空公司正准备调整航班计划,以配合FAA的指令,力求通过提供改签选项和退款来尽量减少旅客不便。行业分析师对航空公司接到修改运营通知的时间过短表示担忧。

FAA报告称,停摆期间人员问题显著增加,许多空中交通管制设施面临潜在的人员不足。旅游业和航空工会持续敦促国会解决停摆问题,以防止更多干扰。
