The Department of Transportation will build a “brand new air traffic control system” by 2028, Secretary Sean Duffy announced Thursday.
Monday's radio outage at Newark Liberty International Airport is the fourth such incident at the facility since April 28.
Former Acting Federal Aviation Administrator Billy Nolen joins Michele Norris to discuss what can be done about the air traffic control issues plaguing airports like Newark Liberty International. Staffing shortages and outdated technology there have lead to canceled flights and delays.
Controllers switched frequencies and planes were “safely separated,” officials said. The 90-second outage on Monday followed communications problems at Newark airport.
