Flight Delays Grow Amid U.S. Government Shutdown

A partial U.S. government shutdown, now in its second month, is causing widespread flight delays across the country. TSA officers and other airport staff are working without pay, leading to staffing shortages and longer security lines. Airlines warn that the spring break travel period is worsening the situation and are urging Congress to restore funding to reduce disruptions. Travelers are advised to plan for extra time and arrive early as major airports experience long lines and delays.
