Airline chiefs warn shutdown is pushing U.S. aviation to the brink
🛫 Nov 3, 2025, airline executives from United, American, and Airlines for America urged Congress to resolve the government shutdown. Unpaid air traffic controllers and TSA officers continue working, ensuring safety amid rising financial stress. The U.S. Travel Association reported $4.3 billion in lost travel spending since the shutdown began on October 1. Currently, under 2% of flights are delayed, but prolonged disruptions threaten holiday travel. Airlines demand a clean continuing resolution to restore operations.
