Description
Right now, the FAA is warning that holiday air traffic may slow down during peak travel times this holiday season due to a shortage in staff.
The agency says places like New York will be hit the hardest as airports face a shortage of air traffic controllers.
The FAA says they are short about 3,000 air traffic controllers.
This comes after a report in September claiming they met their yearly goal of hiring 1,800 air traffic controllers.
