Newark Liberty International Airport, a critical hub for United Airlines, is currently facing significant technical outages leading to delays and cancellations for travelers. To address these issues, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy suggested a potential reduction of flights at the airport, which may be implemented in the coming weeks. Duffy emphasized that the goal of any flight reduction would be to ensure safety rather than inconvenience travelers. Additionally, ongoing infrastructural improvements are underway at the airport, including upgrading to fiber lines to enhance operational reliability.
"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."
"If we reduce the number of flights at Newark, we're not doing it to annoy people. We're not doing it to delay people's travel; what we're doing is guaranteeing safety."
