Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has warned that flights across the United States could face disruptions due to a potential strike by air traffic controllers, as reported by the Boston Globe on May 12, 2025. The National Air Traffic Controllers Association, representing over 20,000 workers, is currently in tense negotiations with the Federal Aviation Administration over pay and working conditions. Buttigieg emphasized the importance of reaching a fair agreement to avoid significant impacts on the nation's air travel system, which is still recovering from previous disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The secretary urged both parties to continue negotiations to prevent a strike that could lead to widespread flight cancellations and delays during the busy summer travel season.
