TSA
In a message to SkyMiles Members, Delta CEO Ed Bastian shared that security wait times have returned to normal levels amid the partial government shutdown and expressed appreciation to customers, employees and TSA workers.
Security wait times have returned to more typical levels across Delta’s system as airport checkpoint conditions continue to normalize nationwide.
Most Delta hubs - BOS, DTW, LAX, MSP, SEA, SLC - are seeing reasonable TSA wait times despite the ongoing partial government shutdown. Customers departing ATL, LGA and JFK should plan for longer-than-usual security lines during peak times and arrive early to allow extra screening time.
On Tuesday morning, Ed shared his thoughts on the partial government shutdown on CNBC’s Squawk Box.
