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.
