According to an exclusive report by Reuters, the United States Department of Transportation is preparing to take a drastic step, reducing scheduled air traffic at the country's 40 largest airports by 10%, if a deal is not reached to end the partial federal government shutdown by Friday, November 7, 2025.

Sources told Reuters that US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is expected to issue the order if the political crisis in Washington continues.

Since the government shutdown began on October 1, 13,000 air traffic controllers and 50,000 Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers have been forced to work without pay, causing massive delays and cancellations to tens of thousands of flights.

Officials warn that the situation could worsen dramatically if the crisis drags on. On Tuesday, Duffy warned that the shutdown could lead to “total chaos” and force him to close parts of American airspace, an extreme measure that would hit the aviation industry and the economy hard.

Airlines on alert

According to Reuters, major airlines, including United Airlines and American Airlines, saw their shares fall about 1% in extended trading after news of the possibility of new restrictions.

Airline industry groups report that over 3.2 million passengers have been affected by flight delays and cancellations since the shutdown began, largely due to staff shortages.

FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford said Tuesday that 20% to 40% of air traffic controllers at the 30 largest airports are not showing up for work, a situation that has put the system on the brink of collapse.

Risk to industry and safety

Although airlines say the financial impact has been limited so far, they warn that bookings could fall significantly if the shutdown continues, affecting the industry in the long term. More than 2,100 flight delays were reported nationwide on Wednesday.

Aviation experts warn that if staffing disruptions worsen, the safety of air travel could be jeopardized, a scenario that would set a historic precedent for the US air system.

If an agreement to reopen the government is not reached by Friday, the US risks facing an unprecedented crisis in air transport, with immediate consequences for the economy and the image of national security.
