Airlines have canceled more than 5,200 flights since Saturday in the U.S. The CEO of United Airlines claims the FAA staffing and inexperience is partly to blame.
In September last year, Kirby said at a conference in Washington, D.C., the FAA was "by far the No. 1" cause of flight delays. Hours later, the FAA released data showing that airlines were the No. 1 cause.
The OIG's report found that 20 of 26 critical ATC facilities are staffed below the FAA's 85% threshold. The FAA's Certified-Professional-Controller workforce has decreased by 10% over the last decade, the audit found.The problem was exacerbated by the pandemic, the audit found, when training was paused for nearly two years.
