“Nobody wins in a government shutdown,” said one executive at a business group who requested anonymity to speak candidly. ‘It’s not good for business’A shutdown may not be an especially dramatic event for the stock market or deal a sizable blow to GDP.

Passengers stuck at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago greeted the latest air travel disruption with a collective shrug. And our nation’s economy depends on a best-in-class air travel system. "We call on federal policymakers to modernize our vital air travel infrastructure to ensure our systems are able to meet demand safely and efficiently," he said. "An FAA system outage is causing ground stops at AUS and other airports across the country," the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport said in a tweet. Air France said all of its U.S.-bound flights were operating as planned and were not affected by the FAA computer outage.
It is separate from the air traffic control system that keeps planes a safe distance from each other, but it’s another critical tool for air safety. The FAA also operates the nation’s air traffic control system, with air traffic controllers using radar to track all planes in their air space and radio communications with their cockpits to guide them safely. If no new problems crop up, flights should return to normal soon, though it may take time to get all the delayed flights in the air. Just before noon ET Wednesday, tracking service FlightAware shows about 7,000 delayed flights to, from and within the United States, with nearly 1,100 canceled flights altogether. But if the problem stretches too long, flight crews who are standing by to fly delayed flights will run out of time in their service day.
