Investing.com -- US Vice President JD Vance will host a roundtable with aviation industry leaders at the White House on Thursday afternoon to discuss the impact of the government shutdown.

The meeting will include United Airlines Holdings Inc. CEO Scott Kirby and American Airlines Group Inc. CEO Robert Isom, according to a Bloomberg report on Thursday.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and former Republican New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, who now serves as chief executive officer of industry trade group Airlines for America, are also expected to attend.

The administration is seeking to increase pressure on Democrats over the funding standoff. Duffy warned earlier this week that flight disruptions for travelers will likely worsen as the funding impasse continues.
