Cancellation of more than 1000 flights due to government strike

• The government strike has been ongoing since January 1 and has become the longest in U.S. history.
• The cancellation of flights has been caused by a reduction in airline services due to the government strike.
• The economy of the country may face significant losses due to disruptions in aviation.

In the U.S. on Saturday, more than 1000 flights were canceled, which resulted from a decision by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regarding a reduction in airline services due to the ongoing government strike.
The situation at many of the country's largest airports has not led to large-scale disruptions, but has affected millions of travelers.

The government strike has been ongoing since January 1, becoming the longest in U.S. history. This situation has made it impossible for lawmakers to agree on funding the government.
According to information from FlightAware, in the first two days of the strike, over 1000 flights were canceled, with the most affected airport being Charlotte in North Carolina.

Along with the data, the airports of Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, and Denver also experienced significant disruptions. Many pilots and air traffic controllers are working without pay, which has led to an increase in flight cancellations and absenteeism at work, adding to existing personnel problems.

The Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, warned that as long as the strike continues, there may be further significant flight cancellations.
These problems could affect not only airlines but also the economy, the tourism business, and prices of goods, especially since many shipments are transported by air.

The President of the United States has called on Republicans to unite to end the strike, which could help restore normal government operations and the aviation industry.
