Flight delays continued at US airports amid air traffic controller shortages as the government shutdown entered its second month, with Newark airport in New Jersey experiencing delays of two to three hours. New York City`s Emergency Management office said on X Sunday that Newark delays often ripple out to the region`s other airports.

Travelers flying to, from or through New York `should expect schedule changes, gate holds, and missed connections. Anyone flying today should check flight status before heading to the airport and expect longer waits,` the social media post added.
