Trader consensus overwhelmingly favors 5,500-6,000 US flight delays on March 31 at virtually 100% implied probability, anchored by preliminary FAA daily air traffic reports and FlightAware tallies confirming totals in that range as the date concluded. Persistent TSA staffing shortages from the extended government shutdown—now over 45 days—compounded localized disruptions, including FAA-mandated arrival reductions at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) due to runway work affecting up to 25% of flights, ground delays at LaGuardia (LGA), and weather risks at Chicago O'Hare (ORD) and Detroit. High spring break volume amplified pressures, aligning with historical norms for elevated delay days. Final Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) validation is pending but unlikely to shift the count materially; only an audit-revealed data error could realistically challenge this outcome.
