ফ্লাইটের বিলম্ব আজ: সরকারী শাটডাউন তৃতীয় সপ্তাহে প্রবেশের সাথে সাথে বিমানের ভ্রমণের দুর্দশাগুলি অব্যাহত রয়েছে
The combination of the ongoing government shutdown and the effects of bad weather continued to cause headaches for US travelers over the weekend. FlightAware, a flight tracking service, showed nearly 30,000 delays entering and leaving US airports from last week Sunday to Monday. Flight delays and cancellations totaled almost 30,000 delays. Here’s the latest on the situation at US airports and what travelers need to know: How bad are the flight delays? Delays and cancellations at many airports have steadily worsened since the October 1 US government shutdown. With no end in sight to the political stalemate that brought us here in Washington, the shutdown will enter its third week tomorrow. FlightAware data shows there were 7,928 delays entering and leaving US airports yesterday, along with 592 cancellations. Saturday and Sunday were similar, with 5,007 delays and 114 cancellations on Saturday, and 7,981 and 271 cancellations on Sunday. Airlines for America, a trade group representing US airlines, warned before the weekend that a lockdown-related shortage of air traffic controllers could cause travel headaches at several airports, though the group insisted that flying was still safe, as CNN reported. Severe weather, including a Nor’easter that churned up the East Coast, contributed to the chaos, causing delays at Northeast airports including New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and New Jersey’s Newark International Airport. Will the delays continue this week? Early Tuesday morning, FlightAware data showed a much lower number of delays and cancellations for the day (499 and 26 respectively), but the number was rising quickly, and only time will tell what the future holds. (We’ll update this post with the latest numbers today.) Meanwhile, Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill remain deadlocked on key sticking points. Most significantly, Democrats want to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits that are scheduled to expire this year. The Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) estimates that the expiration of the credits could cause healthcare premiums to skyrocket for millions of Americans.
