Airports face delays as shutdown deepens ATC staffing woes

Season 2025 Episode 281 | 6m 38s

Thousands of flights have been delayed this week as the government shutdown enters its eighth day. It’s hard to know exactly how many delays are due to staffing shortages from the shutdown, but reports of air traffic controllers calling out sick in large numbers have surfaced at major airports. Controllers are required to work during a shutdown, but are doing so without pay. Miles O’Brien reports.
