More than two dozen flights out of PHL have been canceled with many more delayed. Those numbers are expected to increase as the government shutdown continues.

Travelers can expect to see fewer flights to major U.S. cities like Philadelphia and Newark starting Friday morning.

The FAA will reportedly cut flight traffic by 10% in “high volume” markets, due to shortages of air traffic controllers.

Los urbanistas prevén un corredor de la Ruta 9 más seguro y ecológico, con nuevos parques, viviendas y conexiones que permitan subsanar décadas de abandono.

The affected airports in more than two dozen states include Philadelphia International Airport and Newark Liberty International in New Jersey.

This situation may feel familiar: The union and SEPTA agreed to a new contract at this same time last year.

The agency is confronting staffing shortages caused by air traffic controllers, who are working unpaid, with some calling out of work during the shutdown.

The airport said the closures will help keep the remaining checkpoints running smoothly despite shutdown-related staffing shortages.

The FAA slows down or even stops flights temporarily anytime it is short on controllers or if there is an equipment problem.

Residents in need are selected at random to get free rides on SEPTA. Some advocates say those with the greatest need should get priority.

The Federal Aviation Administration reported staffing-related delays on Friday at airports in Newark, New Jersey, Boston, Nashville, Houston and Dallas.

The transit agency has until Nov. 14 to inspect more than 100 remaining cars. Until then, commuters can expect crowded trips.

Philadelphia is poised to once again have a proper bus station for Greyhound and other intercity carriers — back in the same spot where the terminal previously operated.

Less than half of SEPTA’s 50-year-old fleet of Silverliner cars have been inspected. And out of 108 inspected cars, only 35 have returned to service.

As the federal government’s shutdown continues into a fourth week, TSA workers in Philly are feeling the effects.
