Air traffic control staffing issues are impacting flights for a second straight day at numerous US airports as the partial government shutdown reaches its seventh day, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a notice on Tuesday.
The FAA said landings were being delayed in Nashville and Newark airports, among others. Arriving flights were being held for up to 30 minutes at Newark due to the staffing issues.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Monday the FAA had seen a slight increase in controllers taking sick leave.
