The FAA has warned travelers to expect more flight delays, especially in the Northeast, due to staffing shortages in air traffic control as busy travel period approaches.
FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker mentioned that traffic flow management initiatives will be implemented to handle potential staffing shortages during the Thanksgiving travel period, ensuring operational efficiency.
The upcoming Thanksgiving travel period is anticipated to be one of the busiest ever, with AAA projecting 80 million road travelers, while TSA expects to screen 18.3 million people.
Passenger volumes have seen a significant increase this year, with travel reaching record highs—31 million are expected to fly this Thanksgiving, reflecting a 2 million increase from last year.
