US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced potential flight reductions at Newark Liberty International Airport due to safety concerns following recent air traffic control equipment failures. In an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press," Duffy emphasized the need for safe operations, stating that they would slow flights if necessary to ensure safety. The FAA reported multiple outages affecting Newark's air traffic control equipment, highlighting outdated technology issues. Duffy expressed concerns regarding the aging infrastructure that relies on obsolete components.
The equipment that we use, much of it we can't buy parts for new. We have to go on eBay and buy parts if one part goes down.
I hate delays, I hate cancellations. But I want you to get where you're traveling. And if that means slowing down flights into Newark, we slow them down to make sure we can do it safely.
