Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–August 1, 2012. Today, according to a new analysis released by the Center for American Progress, as many as 106 U.S. airports could lose air traffic control service—and effectively be shut down—under automatic spending cuts scheduled to take effect January 2, 2013. An interactive map, also released today, illustrates which U.S. airports face closure under the looming spending cuts, as well as the number of controllers and passengers who would feel the impact of the forced cuts.
