Flight cancellations and delays worsened at Harry Reid International Airport on Monday with more than a quarter of scheduled flights either canceled or delayed.
The day after Senate leaders secured an initial vote to end a government shutdown provided no relief to flight restrictions at Reid, which saw more delays than many of its western counterparts. Government officials say it may take several days for final passage of legislation formally ending the government shutdown so passengers may be affected for several more days after a resolution has been reached.
FlightAware, a company that tracks flights worldwide, indicated intensified delay and cancellations at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and New York City’s three primary airports.
