The American aviation industry is urging an end to the government shutdown in
the United States. Chris Sununu, CEO of Airlines for America, points to the
increasing pressure on air traffic controllers, who are being forced to work
without pay due to the so-called shutdown.
 
Airlines for America represents major airlines such as American Airlines,
Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines. "This really has to stop now, because
with every day that passes, the pressure increases and the risks grow," Sununu
said of the shutdown. "You're getting closer and closer to the point where
those air traffic controllers are going to face real financial difficulties.
 
"Government agencies in the US have been in a shutdown since early October
because a new budget that would have provided them with funding was not
approved on time. As a result, thousands of government employees are at home
without pay.
