On October 23, local time, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said the current government "stop" lasted until the 23rd day, and a shortage of air traffic controllers has caused flights to several airports such as New York, Washington, New York and Houston to be delayed.

According to the FAA, there are currently 10 man-made problems at air control locations across the United States, and New York Laguna Airport, Houston Bush Airport and New York Airport have implemented temporary ground flight cessation measures. The average delay time at Washington Reagan National Airport is about 31 minutes.
