"Delta Air Lines is temporarily suspending its red coat high-level concierge services and courtesy escort service that allowed lawmakers to skip security lines and move through checkpoints more quickly due to the impact on resources from the longstanding government shutdown."
"Travelers currently face hours-long lines at airports, with Delta's largest hub, the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, advising passengers to arrive at least four hours prior to both domestic and international flights."
"Delta CEO Ed Bastian was among several airline executives who signed an open letter to Congress on March 15, calling on Congress to move forward on bipartisan proposals that will get federal aviation workers paid during shutdowns."
Delta Air Lines is partially suspending its specialty flight assistance services for members of Congress due to the ongoing government shutdown. The shutdown has led to TSA officers working without pay, resulting in over 400 resignations and increased callout rates. Consequently, Delta will temporarily halt its concierge services that expedite security processes for lawmakers. Despite this, the airline's Capital desk for Congress members will remain operational. Travelers are facing long wait times at airports, prompting Delta to advise early arrivals for flights.
