Airlines and passengers braced for a third day of delays as the U.S. government’s automatic budget cuts furlough air-traffic controllers, slowing operations at some of the busiest hubs.
Some flights to New York’s LaGuardia and New Jersey’s Newark airports ran almost two hours late as winds exacerbated congestion at 1:15 p.m. local time, the Federal Aviation Administration said on its travel website. Washington-area airports had hour-long delays because of staffing, the FAA said.
