U.S. Travel Industry Launches Campaign to Ensure Federal Aviation Workers Are Paid Amid Shutdown Fears

A coalition of America's leading travel organizations has launched the 'Pay Federal Aviation Workers' campaign. This initiative strongly urges Congress to pass a long-term Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) funding bill to avert a government shutdown. Spearheaded by groups like the U.S. Travel Association and Airlines for America, the campaign highlights the critical need for stable funding. They warn that a shutdown would force essential personnel, including air traffic controllers and TSA officers, to work without pay. This could lead to severe travel disruptions, increased flight delays, and major economic consequences for the industry.
