FAA shutdown row: List of busiest airports in the US revealed – from LAX to Newark Liberty
Posted on: Nov 06, 2025 08:41 IST | Posted by: Hindustantimes
The federal soldier air power organization (FAA) has proclaimed its plans to cut down the air traffic at 40 of the country's "high-volume" markets by 10% beginning Friday, November 7, The Associated Press reported. The decision was made in direct response to the ongoing government shutdown, in an attempt to maintain traveler safety in case the shutdown continues for a long time, the FAA said.
The FAA has been struggling with staffing shortages among air traffic controllers since the shutdown began. Many of them have been working without pay since the beginning of October. Some started calling out of work, resulting in flights getting delayed nationwide. When the FAA is short on air traffic controllers, it temporarily slows or stops aircraft traffic.
