Business Rundown: What The Ongoing Airport Travel Woes Mean For The Holidays and Economy

The government shutdown continues, as does the misery for U.S. travelers.

At least another 1,600 flights are canceled today, with 2,300 more delays, that’s according to Flightaware.com.

While some of these issues are weather-related, passengers across the country continue to be inconvenienced as the government shutdown persists.

Although some Senate Democrats crossed the aisle late last night to support a tentative plan to fund the government, it remains unclear when TSA agents and air traffic controllers will be paid and when travel will return to normal.

The timing couldn’t be more critical, as we are almost two weeks away from Thanksgiving and the holiday travel season.

Mike Body, Boyd Group International President and Aviation Expert, joins FOX Business’ Lydia Hu to discuss the impact the shutdown has already had and the ripple effect travel uncertainty has on the broader economy.
