The Biden administration is to blame for the ongoing air traffic control failures at New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport, and throughout the system, Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Monday.

The Newark airport had hundreds of flights delayed following a telecommunications issue on Sunday, just two days after a brief outage happened on Friday.

Similar to last summer, there is currently a nationwide shortage of air traffic controllers, which will “take time” to replenish, according to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.

Newark Airport has faced a number of air traffic control equipment outages in recent weeks.

The air traffic controllers directing planes into the Newark, New Jersey, airport lost their radar Friday morning for the second time in two weeks.

Passengers traveling in and out of Newark at the end of the week shouldn't expect smooth sailing. Here's the latest at the New Jersey airport.

Nearly 80 flights have been cancelled and more than 40 delayed at Newark Liberty International Airport after yet another an equipment outage brought more chaos to the NYC-area hub.

The Federal Aviation Administration recently announced a three-year plan to upgrade air traffic control systems nationwide.

Radar systems at Newark Liberty International Airport stopped working for about 90 seconds Friday morning, the second major outage for the New Jersey airport.

The airport, which served 49 million travelers in 2024 and is the second busiest in the New York City area, has been drowning in delays and cancellations for days.

A reporter asked Duffy on Monday why the first Trump administration chose not to address the air traffic control system during his first term in office, noting that Duffy said it was a “decades-old” problem. However, Duffy’s answer left many users on social media scratching their heads.
