The government shutdown in the United States has gone down in history as the longest, and its effects are increasingly felt in the field of air travel. Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, warned that the Department of Transportation may have to close certain parts of American airspace due to a growing crisis of unpaid air traffic controllers. This situation could lead to delays and restrictions in flights, thus affecting millions of travelers across the country. The impact of the shutdown is spreading, raising concerns about the safety and efficiency of air transport.
