US EditionTrump orders all air traffic controllers back to work after shutdown deal
- On Nov. 10, President Donald Trump ordered all air traffic controllers to `get back to work`, warning those who do not would be 'substantially' docked and pledging $10,000 bonuses for those who stayed on the job.
- The shutdown that began on October 1 forced controllers to work unpaid, with absenteeism and resignations rising, leaving 400 fewer controllers than in 2019.
- Flight-Tracking and FAA notices record major cancellations and staffing alerts as more than 10,000 flights were delayed Nov. 9, over 2,000 canceled Sunday, and the Federal Aviation Administration issued alerts for 11 facilities including seven TRACONs.
- After the Senate advanced a funding plan Nov. 9, House Speaker Mike Johnson called members back to vote, while the bill funds the government until Jan. 30 and requires congressional approval for bonuses.
- Union leaders and safety analysts warn that prolonged unpaid work threatens operational safety, with Nick Daniels, National Air Traffic Controllers Association president, saying six weeks without pay takes a toll and replacement training takes years.
