Local time 24 OctoberThe central reporter.It was learned that U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned on the same day that as the government's "shutdown" has entered its 24th day, air traffic controllers will not be able to receive their first salary, and more flight delays may occur in the next few days.
Duffy said the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Air Traffic Control Academy will run out of money to pay air traffic control cadets in the coming weeks.
