Nashville International Airport became the latest U.S. airport to report a ground delay Friday due to a shortage of air traffic control staff.

The shortage comes amid the ongoing government shutdown, which has forced federal employees including Federal Aviation Administration workers to work without pay.

The FAA said the ground delay began at 10 a.m. and is expected to end at 4:59 p.m. local time. The airport advised travelers to check their flight status and contact their airlines before arriving.

FlightAware reported that 22% of departures from Nashville were delayed, while 25% of arrivals faced delays.

The delays in Nashville followed significant disruptions Thursday at Orlando International Airport. The Florida airport reported fewer delays Friday.
