The U.S. Transportation Secretary said the department is assessing the economic impact of the air traffic shutdown, according to a First Squawk tweet. The remark signals that federal officials are moving beyond operational triage toward quantifying the disruption's cost to airlines, airports and the broader economy. No specific figures, timelines or affected carriers were disclosed in the statement. The assessment matters because it could shape decisions on federal aid, slot relief or regulatory waivers for the aviation sector. What to watch next is whether the department publishes a damage estimate and whether it triggers support measures for airlines and related businesses.
