The partial suspension of the US federal government (shutdown) led to the cancellation of 60% of flights at the three largest airports in the US state of New York. This was reported on November 6 by a correspondent of Izvestia.

"A shortage of air traffic controllers, ground staff and other workers has led to the cancellation of hundreds of flights across the region. Thousands of passengers were unable to get where they needed to go. All this is the result of the ongoing shutdown in the country," she said.
