The ongoing shutdown has left air traffic controllers unpaid, forcing FAA ground stops and major flight delays across the U.S.

U.S. officials delayed a new round of flights on Monday as airlines said 3.2 million air passengers have been hit by delays or canceled flights due to a spike in air traffic controller absences amid a lack of pay as the government shutdown entered its 34th day.
