More than 2,000 flights canceled on Sunday in the US!
According to data from a flight tracking website, as of around 4 p.m. Eastern Time on Sunday, more than 2,000 flights within the United States and those entering or leaving the country had been canceled, and over 7,000 flights had been delayed.
The continuous shutdown of the US government has forced the Federal Aviation Administration to cut 4% of flights, and the problem of crowded airports has been exacerbated by a shortage of air traffic controllers.
More flight cancellations and delays may occur next week, as airlines will be required to gradually increase their reduction in flights next week, unless Congress can come up with a funding compromise to reopen the government.
