Скачать или смотреть Sean Duffy reveals shutdown will cause 10% reduction of air travel

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will reduce flight capacity across the nation's airspace starting on Friday morning if air traffic controllers continue to be unpaid.

The news comes amid what has become the longest government shutdown in the country's history.

"There is going to be a 10% reduction in capacity at 40 of our locations," Duffy said on Wednesday, also noting that the "data-based decision" is designed to alleviate pressure on controllers as they work to keep the skies safe.
There may be flight delays or cancellations. Our top priority is that when Americans fly, they will make it to their destination safely because @USDOT and the @FAANews have done their work," he later added in an X post.
