The Federal Aviation Administration on Friday (October 31) delayed flights at airports in Austin, Newark and Nashville as air traffic control staffing problems continue to snarl flights and a government shutdown hits its 31st day.

At least nine FAA facilities were facing staffing issues on Friday and the agency said it was likely to delay flights later at Houston and Dallas airports.

Flight delays were averaging 61 minutes at Nashville, 50 minutes at Austin and 101 minutes at Newark. FlightAware, an aviation tracking site, said 2,200 U.S. flights had been delayed and 300 canceled as of 12:30 p.m. ET.
