Why Air Traffic Controllers Say Flying Into Newark Isn't Safe Right Now #shorts #aviationnews

On April 28, a critical failure at Newark Airport led to a 30-second blackout where air traffic controllers lost all communication and radar contact with incoming planes due to a malfunction in both primary and backup systems.

The incident, attributed to a burned-out copper wire, forced controllers to take trauma leave, exacerbating existing staffing shortages. United Airlines responded by canceling 35 daily flights, and with ongoing runway construction and outdated infrastructure, delays and cancellations are expected to persist. #NewarkAirport #FlightDelays #AirTrafficControl #AviationNews #TravelUpdate
