华盛顿，3月5日（路透社） – 代表美国主要航空公司和旅游团体的组织周四警告称，随着美国繁忙的春假旅行季临近，持续的政府部分停摆可能会扰乱空中交通。
2月13日，由于国会未能就民主党要求的移民执法改革达成协议，国土安全部的资金到期失效。这导致包括运输安全管理局（TSA）在内的多个政府机构的运营资金中断。

约5万名运输安全管理局（TSA）机场安检人员正在无薪工作，随着停摆持续，更多员工可能因经济困难而无法或不愿上班。
美国航空运输协会（Airlines for America）首席执行官克里斯·苏努努（Chris Sununu）表示，航空公司预计春季旅行期将创纪录，预计有1.71亿乘客乘坐飞机，同比增长4%。他谴责议员们未投票结束停摆。
“令人担忧的是，他们又一次等到真正绝望的情况出现，等到出现长队，才会采取行动，”苏努努说，并补充道，反复的停摆正将美国航空系统置于风险之中。

苏努努表示，随着3月13日TSA工作人员首次拿到零薪水，春假旅行将升温。他敦促特朗普政府恢复“全球入境计划”（Global Entry），该计划可加快预先批准的低风险旅行者的美国海关和移民通关流程。
美国旅游协会（U.S. Travel Association）首席执行官杰夫·弗里曼（Geoff Freeman）表示，不支付机场安检人员工资是不可接受的。
“TSA官员每年筛查近10亿名乘客。这些员工平均年薪约3.5万美元，根本无法承受错过一次工资的后果，”弗里曼说。“每次华盛顿未能为政府提供资金，这些关键员工就要付出代价。旅行者和经济也是如此。”
运输安全管理局（TSA）最高官员哈·阮·麦克尼尔（Ha Nguyen McNeill）上月告诉国会，在2025年10月和11月，约有1,110名运输安全官员离职，较2024年同期增长了25%以上。这是因为2025年经历了43天的政府停摆。

Airline and travel groups warn of risks to air traffic as partial shutdown persists
March 5, 2026 4:42 PM UTC / Reuters
WASHINGTON, March 5 (Reuters) – Groups representing major U.S. airlines and travel groups warned on Thursday that an ongoing partial government shutdown could snarl air traffic as the busy U.S. spring break travel season nears.
Funding for the Homeland Security Department lapsed on February 13 after Congress failed to reach a deal on immigration enforcement reforms demanded by Democrats. That halted operational funding for several government agencies, including the Transportation Security Administration.

About 50,000 TSA airport security screeners are working without pay and as the shutdown continues more workers could be unable or unwilling to come to work because of financial hardship.
Carriers are expecting a record-breaking spring travel period, with 171 million passengers expected to fly, up 4% over the same two-month period last year, said Chris Sununu, CEO of trade association Airlines for America. He castigated lawmakers for not voting to end the shutdown.
“The fear is that, once again, they’re not going to act until something really desperate happens, until we get long lines,” Sununu said, adding the repeated shutdowns are putting the U.S. aviation system at risk.

Spring break travel will heat up as TSA workers get their first zero paycheck on March 13, Sununu said. He urged the Trump administration to reinstate Global Entry, which expedites U.S. customs and immigration clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers entering the United States.
U.S. Travel Association CEO Geoff Freeman said it was unacceptable not to pay airport security workers.
“TSA officers screen nearly a billion passengers a year. With an average salary of around $35,000, these are workers who simply cannot afford to miss a paycheck,” Freeman said. “Every time Washington fails to fund the government, these essential workers pay the price. So do travelers. So does the economy.”
Ha Nguyen McNeill, the top official at the TSA, told Congress last month that around 1,110 transportation security officers left the TSA in October and November 2025 following a 43-day government shutdown, a more than 25% increase from the same time period in 2024.
