Forbes: The Federal Aviation Administration announced on Friday, March 22 that it would shut down 149 of the 516 air traffic control towers across the U.S., beginning April 7, 2013. Here’s what it all means.
Why is the FAA doing this? Because of the sequester that took effect on March 1, 2013, resulting from a 2011 budget deal. The sequester mandates cuts of $85.4 billion from the federal budget this year and larger cuts in subsequent years.
