Cierre del gobierno de EE. UU. obliga a reducir drásticamente el tráfico aéreoLa escasez de personal de agencias federales amenaza la seguridad de los viajes durante las fiestasEl cierre del gobierno de Estados Unidos ha generado un impacto sin precedentes en el sistema aeroportuario del país, afectando tanto la seguridad de los pasajeros como la eficiencia de las aerolíneas. Miles de controladores de tráfico aéreo, empleados de la Administración Federal de Aviación (FAA) y otros funcionarios federales trabajan desde el 1 de octubre sin recibir su salario, provocando una escasez crítica de personal en aeropuertos clave como JFK y LaGuardia en Nueva York, Hartsfield-Jackson en Atlanta y O’Hare en Chicago. Esta situación ha derivado en retrasos, cancelaciones y desvíos de vuelos, afectando a aerolíneas y frustrando a los viajeros en plena temporada alta. La FAA ha reiterado que la seguridad sigue siendo la máxima prioridad. La reducción de personal obliga a limitar el flujo de tráfico aéreo para garantizar operaciones seguras, lo que genera inevitables demoras. Muchos controladores reportan fatiga extrema, estrés y ansiedad, al combinar varios trabajos para compensar los salarios no percibidos. Expertos advierten que las interrupciones prolongadas pueden tener un efecto en cadena, afectando el transporte de carga, los vuelos internacionales y el comercio. Las aerolíneas están reajustando sus horarios, aunque algunas indican que las opciones de reprogramación se están agotando. Los pasajeros han compartido en redes sociales experiencias de retrasos de varias horas y cancelaciones de último minuto, mostrando el impacto humano del cierre. Familias que planeaban viajar durante el Día de Acción de Gracias y las vacaciones de fin de año enfrentan incertidumbre, debiendo considerar transporte alternativo o posponer sus viajes. El secretario de Transporte, Sean Duffy, también administrador interino de la NASA, indicó que si el personal disponible cae por debajo de niveles seguros, “todo el espacio aéreo podría ser suspendido” para garantizar la seguridad de los pasajeros. Además, advirtió que el cierre conlleva riesgos inherentes y que cualquier decisión sobre cierres se toma priorizando la seguridad pública. Economistas señalan que el impacto del cierre va más allá de la aviación. Los retrasos en vuelos de carga podrían interrumpir cadenas de suministro, provocando escasez de productos y aumento de precios. Las aerolíneas, ya afectadas por escasez de personal y costos de combustible, enfrentan presión financiera significativa. Asociaciones del sector instan al Congreso a resolver la situación rápidamente, advirtiendo que una paralización prolongada podría afectar la confianza en el sistema de transporte estadounidense. En síntesis, el cierre del gobierno no solo ha afectado la economía de los empleados federales, sino que también ha generado interrupciones en toda la industria de la aviación. Viajeros, aerolíneas y empresas esperan una solución política urgente para restaurar operaciones normales y garantizar la seguridad durante la temporada alta de viajes. |
