Airlines blame delays on "lack of air traffic control employees"
The current state of affairs in U.S. airports is marked by uncertainty and dysfunction, as carriers continue to grapple with historic travel demand and staffing shortages amid skyrocketing fuel prices, and travelers continue to experience considerable delays and cancellations at U.S. hubs.
Airlines have had to slash flight schedules in the stated hopes of alleviating workforce issues, and things are not going to get better any time soon, according to a Wednesday memo penned by United Airlines CEO Jon Roitman. First reported by Reuters' David Shepardson, the message sent by Roitman to his staff projects that U.S. carriers will "remain challenged this summer and beyond" due to insufficient air traffic control workers at airports around the nation.
