Due to a recent series of outages affecting communication and radar systems at the Philadelphia air traffic control facility, the FAA has imposed limits on flights at Newark Liberty International Airport. This decision follows a troubling month characterized by significant delays and cancellations, prompting officials to address the aging air traffic control infrastructure and its vulnerabilities. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy asserts that these measures will enhance safety and efficiency, but the situation raises critical concerns about the state of air traffic management in the U.S.
Federal regulators are now capping flights at Newark due to significant disruptions following a series of communication system outages at the air traffic control facility in Philadelphia.
On April 28th, the air traffic control facility experienced a major loss of communications and radar, triggering issues that led to flight cancellations and delays.
