Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced upcoming flight capacity reductions at Newark Liberty International Airport due to equipment failures and a shortage of about 3,000 air traffic controllers. In a recent interview, Duffy stressed the need for a major overhaul of the aging air traffic control infrastructure, highlighting that many components are so old they require sourcing parts from eBay. He acknowledged serious equipment issues at Newark, including glitches that have caused loss of communication with pilots. Duffy warned that similar issues may arise across the country, emphasizing the urgency for improvements to enhance air travel safety.
