   The American aviation industry is urging an end to the government shutdown in   
   the United States. Chris Sununu, CEO of Airlines for America, points to the   
   increasing pressure on air traffic controllers, who are being forced to work   
   without pay due to the so-called shutdown.   
       
   Airlines for America represents major airlines such as American Airlines,   
   Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines. "This really has to stop now, because   
   with every day that passes, the pressure increases and the risks grow," Sununu   
   said of the shutdown. "You're getting closer and closer to the point where   
   those air traffic controllers are going to face real financial difficulties.   
       
   "Government agencies in the US have been in a shutdown since early October   
   because a new budget that would have provided them with funding was not   
   approved on time. As a result, thousands of government employees are at home   
   without pay.
