Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned that disruptions for air travelers will only get worse as Thanksgiving and the holiday travel season approach.

For seven weeks, they’ve been reducing spending, weighing layoffs and looking for stable work while trying to reach shuttered government offices, according to several contractors.
