Why flight disruptions could linger even after the government shutdown ends

Airplanes are parked at gates near the air traffic control tower at the Tampa International Airport Tuesday in Florida. Airports across the U.S. have experienced delays and flight cancellations as airlines decrease flights at dozens of major airports to ease the pressure on air traffic controllers, who have been working unpaid during the ongoing government shutdown.

Airlines and aviation regulators warned that flight disruptions are likely to continue even after the government reopens. Thousands of flights have been cancelled as air traffic restrictions ramp up.
