US EditionEditorial: Notwithstanding a Skeptical Media, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy Was Right to Cut Back Flights
Flight cuts aim to reduce controller fatigue during the 38-day government shutdown, with over 800 flights canceled nationwide, officials said.
- On the Friday, the FAA ordered airlines to cut 10 percent of flights at 40 major airports, citing overworked controllers amid the government shutdown's 38th day, according to U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy.
- Labor and pay pressures left nearly 80 percent of New York–area air traffic controllers absent on Oct. 31, with many missing pay and two pay periods, officials said.
- Data show both cancellations and punctuality shifts, with more than 1,000 flights canceled on Nov. 7, while U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy said Newark had its most on-time months ever.
- Duffy framed the fix and urged Congress to reopen the government, saying `There’s a very easy solution to the problem that they put directly on my lap, which is open the damn government.`
- With Thanksgiving approaching, Duffy warned grounded flights could rise from under 3 percent to 20 percent, and Senate Republicans plan to work through the weekend up to Veterans Day.
