周六,美国各地机场和航空公司仍在努力追赶周五长达四小时的全国性停飞进度,旅客们在面临延误和取消后争相赶往目的地。交通部长肖恩·达菲周五晚间表示,在罕见的停飞之后,他预计恢复正常航空旅行的过程将是“缓慢”的,他将此次停飞归因于数据过载和过时的空管系统。当他的内阁成员登台讨论联邦航空管理局的举措时,特朗普总统周五下午对停飞事件保持沉默。他周末没有公开日程安排。
U.S. airports and airlines are still playing catch up on Saturday following Friday's four hour long nationwide ground, with travelers across the country scrambling to get to their destinations after facing delays and cancellations. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Friday night he expects the transition back to normal air travel to be "slow" following the rare grounding, which he attributed to a data overload and outdated air traffic control systems. While members of his cabinet took the podium to discuss the Federal Aviation Administration's move, President Trump stayed silent on the stoppage throughout Friday afternoon. He has no public events scheduled over the weekend.
