Denver wants to pay airport staff to avoid FAA flight cuts

Denver is taking proactive steps to support its airport staff during the government shutdown by proposing to pay air traffic controllers who are currently without pay. Mayor Mike Johnston's initiative aims to prevent potential flight cuts that could arise from staffing shortages at Denver International Airport. This move not only highlights the city's commitment to maintaining smooth airport operations but also underscores the importance of federal support in ensuring the safety and efficiency of air travel.
