More air travelers are feeling uneasy about their flight times this week because air traffic controllers are missing their first full paychecks since the start of the federal shutdown 28 days ago.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says nearly half of the nation’s flight delays and cancellations are due to the shutdown, and he’s warning more are expected with the holiday season coming.
