"The Airport has staff on hand to help keep the lines organized, and we will continue to coordinate with our federal partners with the TSA as they navigate this issue."
"Airlines have done their part to prepare; now Congress and the administration must act with urgency to reach a deal that reopens DHS and ends this shutdown. America's transportation security workforce is too important to be used as political leverage."
The ongoing DHS shutdown has created significant operational challenges for the TSA, with workers required to continue working without pay. This staffing shortage has resulted in unusually long security lines at airports across the nation, with particularly severe impacts at major hubs serving cities like New Orleans. Airports are implementing mitigation strategies, including staff coordination and public advisories recommending travelers arrive three hours early. As spring break approaches and travel demand increases, the situation is expected to worsen. Airlines for America has called for urgent congressional action to resolve the shutdown, emphasizing that the transportation security workforce should not be used as political leverage.
