Gavin Newsom blasted Donald Trump after it was revealed the airport in Burbank, California could spend the next six hours without air traffic controllers.
‘Thanks, @realDonaldTrump! Burbank Airport has ZERO air traffic controllers from 4:15pm to 10pm today because of YOUR government shutdown,’ the California governor wrote.
The White House, when asked for comment by The Daily Mail, sent its automatic reply putting responsibility for the shutdown on Democrats.
‘Due to staff shortages resulting from the Democrat Shutdown, the typical 24/7 monitoring of this press inbox may experience delays,’ it read.
‘As you await a response, please remember this could have been avoided if the Democrats voted for the clean Continuing Resolution to keep the government open.’
The government shutdown is currently in its sixth day with no sign of a resolution in the Senate.
Without on-site air traffic controllers, the airport’s arrivals and departures will be managed by TRACON, a team working out of San Diego which already handles much of Burbank’s traffic.
The FAA told ABC7 that it was working to get staffers to the airport before 10pm local time.
