FAA issues new rules to combat air traffic controller fatigue

The Federal Aviation Administration is implementing new rest rules for U.S. Air traffic controllers to address fatigue issues affecting air safety.
Controllers must now have 10 hours off between shifts and 12 hours off before a midnight shift. The mandate takes effect in 90 days, according to FAA Administrator Michael Whitaker.
Concerns over fatigue amid a staffing shortage prompted the changes, recommended by a panel of experts and backed by an FAA-ordered report.
