Air Traffic Controllers Warn of Holiday Chaos
Update: 2025-11-05
Description
Air Traffic Controllers' Union Warns of Potential Holiday Chaos: Nick Daniels, president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, expresses concerns about the ongoing government shutdown, which has entered its fifth week, making it the longest in history. With controllers and airport security screeners working without pay, Daniels fears a significant shortage of controllers, exacerbating the already reported increase in flight delays and ground stops. He warns that the industry could face weeks of recovery during the holiday season, with potential resignations due to financial strain and uncertainty. The industry is already short by between two thousand and three thousand controllers, and Daniels stresses that controllers cannot make the impossible possible.
