End the Shutdown Now

It's Time for Congress to End the Shutdown Now

FAA Air Traffic Control Tower at Miami International Airport, Miami, Florida

The ongoing government shutdown is the longest in history. To reduce the strain on unpaid federal workers, U.S. airlines are cutting flights in order to maintain the safety and reliability of the National Airspace System (NAS).

This is not sustainable. We implore Congress to act with extreme urgency to get the federal government reopened, get federal workers paid, and get our airspace back to normal operations. Time is of the essence.
