It’s been a long week for travelers moving through Atlanta.
Between flight delays, long TSA lines, and staffing shortages at Hartsfield-Jackson, the effects of the federal government shutdown are starting to feel real.
Over the last few days, multiple outlets have reported hundreds of delays and cancellations tied to reduced air traffic and security staff. One recent morning saw lines stretching wall-to-wall — passengers frustrated, families anxious, and business travelers missing connections.
If you’re planning to fly this holiday season, buckle up. The ripple effect of a prolonged shutdown could mean even more travel chaos as we move closer to Thanksgiving and Christmas.

What’s Causing the Slowdown
A big part of the issue comes down to federal staffing shortages.
Air traffic controllers and TSA agents — who are critical to keeping flights on time and safe — are either stretched thin or temporarily out. That’s left major airports like Atlanta dealing with longer screening times and unexpected ground stops.
For travelers, that translates to unpredictable wait times, missed connections, and more time sitting at the gate than actually getting where you need to go.
