As IFA reported, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a Tuesday press conference that his department would be forced to close parts of the United States\u2019 airspace if the shutdown was not resolved soon.\n<\/p>\n<p>Major airlines such as United, Southwest, and American responded to the decision to close portions of U.S. airspace, promising to \u201cwork to reduce the impact on passengers as schedules are trimmed,\u201d according to Fox. United CEO Scott Kirby said in a letter to his employees that \u201cUnited\u2019s long-haul international flying and our hub-to-hub flying will not be impacted,\u201d and that the airline will offer refunds to customers who chose not to travel during this unpredictable period.\n<\/p>\n<p>This is the longest government shutdown in the history of our nation. SNAP and Airlines have already been heavily impacted, and things in our nation will only get worse.
