On November 27, Glonghui reported that United Airlines stated on Tuesday that the severe shortage of air traffic controllers has caused "significant disruption" for passengers at the busy Newark hub in suburban New York City. United Airlines mentioned that in the first 25 days of November, for 12 days, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was forced to reduce traffic flow to the Newark hub due to staff shortages, resulting in delays, canceled flights, long taxi times, or extended flight times for over 343,000 United Airlines passengers. United Airlines' comments come as record-breaking Thanksgiving holiday air travel begins. The FAA stated that it is addressing a staffing issue that has persisted for decades and has kept airlines and passengers informed about our plans. Over the past two years, a series of near-miss incidents have raised concerns about aviation safety and the shortage of air traffic control personnel in the USA. Last month, the FAA announced that it is auditing runway incursion risks at the 45 busiest airports in the USA.
