Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said that flight cancellations across the U.S. could rise to 15%—or even 20%—if the government shutdown continues, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Said Duffy: “If this shutdown doesn’t end relatively soon, the consequence is that more controllers don’t come to work. I don’t want to see that.”
