ATC

FAA inspectors

TSA

FAA certification and liscense staff (this may cause no new hires,
pilot certifications, aircraft inspections, and operational certifications for airlines, delaying hiring, training, and operational launches)

Aircraft manufacturer and airline personnel: delays in receiving necessary certifications, aircraft deliveries, and route approvals. This affects expansion plans, new aircraft integration, and operational efficiency


Longer security lines, potential flight delays, and limited customer service options if airline support teams are affected indirectly.

stay safe out there
