air traffic control

Airports serving Chicago, Nashville, Tenn., and New York are among those that have been most affected by air-traffic control staffing shortages, and are expected to trim their schedules.

The FAA said it would release the list of affected airports on Thursday, with a focus on areas that have been struggling most with air-traffic control staffing shortages.

The answer is to hand off the job of air-traffic control to a nonprofit funded by user fees instead of taxes.

Airports across the country in the past week have had delays or ground stops due to staffing shortages in air-traffic control.

Airports in the New York City area are under traffic restrictions from federal regulators in part because of reduced staffing at multiple air-traffic control centers.
