The Federal Aviation Administration
said on Saturday it had suspended all employee furloughs and that it expects
the U.S. air travel system will return to normal operations by Sunday evening.
The suspension follows passage on
Friday of a bill allowing the agency to shift money within its budget to halt
furloughs of air-traffic controllers that started April 21.
The furloughs caused thousands of
flight delays and hundreds of cancellations throughout the week.
The FAA said
in a statement on Saturday that it expects staffing to return to normal over
the next 24 hours.
