"As of midnight Monday ET, the Federal Aviation Administration has restricted most general aviation flights, including private jets, at 12 major US airports due to air traffic controller callouts. That means jet owners, charter operators, and other business aviation companies cannot fly in or out of those hubs. Ed Bolen, the CEO of the National Business Aviation Association, the private aviation industry's main lobbying group, said in a Monday statement that the move is " disproportionately impacting general aviation.""
"The affected airports include: Chicago O'Hare International Airport Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport Denver International Airport Boston Logan International Airport Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport Los Angeles International Airport New Jersey's Newark Liberty International Airport Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in DC Seattle-Tacoma International Airport"
As of midnight Monday ET, the Federal Aviation Administration restricted most general aviation flights, including private jets, at 12 major U.S. airports because of air traffic controller callouts. Jet owners, charter operators, and business aviation companies cannot fly in or out of those hubs. Limited exceptions exist for medical flights, firefighting, law enforcement, emergency operations, military missions, and other FAA-authorized flights. The National Business Aviation Association said the move disproportionately impacts general aviation and noted the industry creates over a million jobs, generates $340 billion in economic activity, and supports humanitarian flights. Air traffic controllers have been working without pay for 41 days.
