Flights to LAX temporarily halted due to staffing shortage
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=247829&nl=international]
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=247829&nl=international]
The Federal Aviation Administration says flights departing for Los
Angeles International Airport are being held due to a staffing
shortage at a Southern California air traffic facility. The FAA issued
a temporary ground stop at one of the world's busiest airports on
Sunday morning soon after U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy
predicted that travelers would see more flights delayed and canceled
in the coming days as the nation's air traffic controllers work
without pay during the federal government shutdown. The FAA says it
expects to lift the ground stop soon but might continue to restrict
traffic into LAX. Staffing shortages also caused disruptions Sunday at
New Jersey's Newark Liberty International Airport and Teteboro
Airport.
