Officials, including VP JD Vance and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, are raising alarms about a potential disaster in air travel if the government shutdown continues. Vance warned that Thanksgiving travel could be severely affected, urging Senate Democrats to end the ongoing shutdown. Aviation experts and airline CEOs have also expressed concerns, stating that the situation is reaching a breaking point. With the holiday season approaching, Vance and Duffy emphasized the need for bipartisan cooperation to prevent chaos in air travel, as airline stocks are already feeling the strain. The White House is scheduled to host meetings with airline executives to discuss the pressing issues facing the aviation industry amid the shutdown.
