Atlanta air traffic controllers are working without pay and turning to Uber and DoorDash to stay afloat as the shutdown drags on.

As of 3:35 p.m., there were 378 delays, and 230 cancelations reported at Atlanta’s airport on Monday, according to FlightAware. Greenberg says once the government shutdown ends, the air traffic control system should be back on track in about a week.

Scattered showers Friday night through the weekend could slow holiday drivers and impact air travel. National outlooks show above-normal temperatures but elevated rain chances across major central and eastern U.

Dozens of flights were cancelled at the Atlanta airport as airlines start to comply with the FAA's order to reduce air traffic.

ATLANTA — The Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday it's going to begin cutting air traffic at some of the nation's busiest airports starting Friday as the government shutdown drags on. And, yes, that is expected to include the world's busiest airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International.

Some air traffic controllers in Atlanta spent part of their Tuesday educating flyers about how the shutdown is affecting them just one day after the federal employees missed their first full paycheck.

The average cancellation rate over the last few days already exceeded the FAA's requirement, according to aviation analytics company Cirium. The FAA also expanded its flight restrictions on Monday, barring business jets and many private flights from using a dozen airports already under commercial flight limits.

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport experienced significant disruptions today, with 309 flight delays and 318 cancellations as of noon due to a government shutdown affecting air traffic control staffing.
