And travelers at Newark Airport this weekend were feeling the effects of the government shutdown.

The International Airport was hit with multiple ground stops on Sunday due to air traffic control staffing shortages.

According to FlightAware, there were 449 delays and 123 cancellations.

And officials with the NYC Emergency Management say the average delays for departing flights were about two hours, with some flights more than three hours late.

Travelers have experienced similar delays out of LaGuardia and JFK airports in New York, and airports around the country have seen ground stops, including Boston, Dallas, Austin, and Las Vegas.

All of these delays coming as more workers call out after going about a month without receiving a paycheck.
