Orlando, FL November 09, 2025 –(PR.com)– The Genie Transportation Services, Central Florida’s premier private transportation company for families, is calling on Congress to immediately end the federal government shutdown. The company says the ongoing shutdown is severely disrupting the nation’s air travel system, threatening tourism, jobs, and public safety — with visible effects across Florida’s travel and hospitality industries.
The Genie Transportation Services joins the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Limousine Association (NLA) in urging lawmakers to act swiftly to restore government operations and stability to the nation’s transportation infrastructure.
Air Travel Disruptions Affect Families and Businesses Alike
As the shutdown continues, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) are operating with reduced staff, forcing thousands of professionals responsible for air-traffic control, inspections, and security to work without pay or remain furloughed.
“Every delay at an airport creates a ripple effect for passengers, drivers, and small businesses alike,” said a spokesperson for The Genie Transportation Services. “Families traveling to Central Florida are experiencing missed connections, rescheduled pickups, and lost vacation time. These aren’t just inconveniences — they are real economic losses affecting workers and the regional economy.”
According to the U.S. Travel Association, the travel economy stands to lose more than $1 billion per week if the shutdown continues, impacting airlines, hotels, and ground transportation providers nationwide.
Central Florida’s Tourism Economy Feels the Strain
Tourism drives Central Florida’s economy, and even minor air travel disruptions can have major consequences for local businesses. Canceled flights mean canceled hotel stays, fewer shuttle rides, and reduced income for service workers.
“The family travel experience begins the moment they land,” the spokesperson said. “When airports are understaffed and flights are grounded, that experience deteriorates — and so does confidence in our entire travel system.”
Oversight, Safety, and Confidence Erode During Shutdown
The prolonged shutdown has also slowed essential aviation oversight, including inspections, certifications, and infrastructure planning. “Public confidence in air and ground travel depends on federal oversight,” said the spokesperson. “When that oversight is interrupted, the system itself becomes less predictable and less safe.”
Business Community Calls for Immediate Action
Echoing the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s call to “immediately reopen the government,” and the National Limousine Association’s warnings about harm to small and mid-sized transportation companies, The Genie Transportation Services emphasized that the shutdown is inflicting unnecessary damage on critical sectors.
“The transportation industry — from airlines to small private operators — thrives on consistency and trust,” said the spokesperson. “Congress must act now. Every day of inaction hurts the people and communities that rely on travel and tourism to make a living.”
Central Florida at a Crossroads
The company stressed that Central Florida’s family-travel economy cannot withstand long-term instability. “Central Florida thrives because families know they can get here safely and easily,” the spokesperson added. “If government dysfunction continues to disrupt that promise, the consequences will extend far beyond this shutdown. It affects every driver, hotel worker, restaurant, and family that makes this community so special.”
