Although a Sunday night Senate vote indicates the current government shutdown may be nearing its end, air traffic across the nation’s busiest airports is still being reduced. A reported 4% decrease took effect over the weekend, with the number expected to go up to 10% this week. In the Dallas area alone, dozens of flights were cancelled on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The weekend saw “travel misery” across the country due to the thousands of cancellations, according to NBC News. According to the report, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has said that air travel is not likely to return to normal immediately in the event the government reopens this week.
Regardless, Sunday’s news has major air carriers feeling encouraged just a couple of weeks before the prime holiday travel season begins.
“We thank the Senators who voted tonight to advance legislation to reopen the Federal government and provide funding for our essential air traffic controllers and TSA officers, who have worked tirelessly without pay for over a month,” United Airlines shared in a statement on Monday morning. “Our customers and employees have experienced firsthand the negative impact of the shutdown and staffing shortages causing flight delays, disruptions and cancellations. It is critical that the Senate quickly send this legislation to the House and the House pass it as soon as possible, so that government can reopen and reliable air travel can resume as we near the busy holiday travel season.”
