New Orleans airport operations are improving following a massive delay and long lines on Sunday due to the partial government shutdown. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) lines at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) have improved after massive delays and long queues due to TSA agent call-outs. Several agents have called out, contributing to unusually long lines at TSA checkpoints and officials are urging travelers to arrive at the airport three hours before their scheduled departure. Officials are preparing for a shift change and are unsure how it might impact the lines, but anticipate that lines could grow once the afternoon rush begins. The situation is being closely monitored.
