U.S. Vice President JD Vance warned that a prolonged government shutdown could disrupt travel during the peak holiday season, following a roundtable with aviation industry leaders, including executives from United and American Airlines.

As the shutdown nears a month, tensions rise, with Senate Democrats rejecting a funding package and pressure mounting for a resolution to prevent further impact on air travel.
