Major airlines warn government funding lapse could strain aviation, slow flights
WASHINGTON, Sept 29 (Reuters) - A group representing major U.S. airlines warned on Monday that a partial federal government shutdown could strain American aviation and slow flights, as air traffic controllers and security officers would be forced to work without pay and other functions would be halted.
Airline trade group Airlines for America, which represents United Airlines UAL.O, Delta Air Lines DAL.N, American Airlines AAL.O, Southwest Airlines LUV.N and others, warned that if funding lapses "the system may need to slow down, reducing efficiency" and impacting travelers.
