U.S. May Close Airspace If Shutdown Continues

The U.S. Department of Transportation, led by Secretary Sean Duffy, warned that parts of airspace may need to close if the government shutdown continues into next week. Duffy stated that this could lead to significant flight delays and cancellations due to a shortage of air traffic controllers. He emphasized that airspace restrictions would be implemented if safety could not be ensured. This situation is developing and will be updated as more information becomes available.
