March 23 (Reuters) - More than 100 airport leaders on Monday urged Congress to end a funding standoff that has forced 50,000 Transportation Security Administration officers to go unpaid and has led to massive security lines.
The CEOs of Airports Council International – North America and American Association of Airport Executives joined by more than 100 airport leaders in a letter urged a end to the impasse, citing concerns "about the growing operational disruptions at airports... The impacts of the shutdown are significant, growing, and potentially long-lasting."
