FAA Reports Flight Delays at Austin Airport
Flights at Austin Bergstrom International Airport are no longer delayed due to staffing issues, according to the FAA. Earlier, flights were delayed by an average of 36 minutes due to a Traffic Management Program implemented because of staffing shortages. This issue has been identified as a persistent problem, with Austin auditors noting the airport's reliance on third-party contractors to manage services. The FAA advises travelers to check airport status for potential delays.
