U.S. Airline CEOs Urge Congress to Pass Homeland Security Funding, Warn of Travel Disruptions
The CEOs of America's largest airlines are demanding Congress pass funding for the Department of Homeland Security. In a letter to lawmakers, they warn that a failure to approve the budget could lead to a partial government shutdown. This would directly impact the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The airline chiefs predict that understaffing at these agencies will cause long lines, flight delays, and major disruptions for travelers. They are urging immediate action to prevent chaos during the upcoming busy summer travel season.
