Delta Air Lines suspends special congressional services during DHS shutdown
Delta Air Lines announced it is temporarily suspending specialty services for members of Congress, including airport escorts and expedited security services, due to resource constraints from the ongoing partial government shutdown affecting the Department of Homeland Security. The shutdown has caused TSA staffing shortages and longer security lines at airports, with hundreds of unpaid TSA officers calling out of work. Delta CEO Ed Bastian and other airline executives had previously written to Congress urging an end to the shutdown to ensure federal aviation workers get paid.
