联邦航空管理局将在政府停摆期间减少40个高流量市场的航班量10%

摘要

联邦航空管理局计划从周五起,在40个主要市场减少10%的航班量,原因是持续的政府停摆导致人员短缺。

联邦航空管理局(FAA)宣布,将从周五起在40个高流量市场减少10%的航班量,以应对因持续的政府停摆造成的人员短缺。交通部长肖恩·达菲表示,此举旨在减轻自10月1日停摆开始以来一直无薪工作的空中交通管制员的压力。

FAA局长布莱恩·贝德福德强调,为了维护安全,这一措施是必要的,并指出该机构无法忽视其员工日益增长的压力。具体受影响的机场预计将在周四公布。预计波士顿洛根国际机场、纽约拉瓜迪亚机场、洛杉矶国际机场和达拉斯/沃斯堡国际机场等主要枢纽将受到影响。

包括联合航空、美国航空和西南航空在内的航空公司正准备相应调整航班计划,提供改签选项和退款服务,以尽量减少旅客的不便。分析人士批评航空公司适应运营调整的通知时间过短。

FAA报告称,人员短缺问题显著加剧,较停摆前有更多空中交通管制设施面临潜在的人员不足。旅游业和航空工会正敦促国会解决停摆问题,以防止进一步的中断。
