Air traffic control disruptions at Newark Liberty International Airport led to extensive delays and cancellations nationwide, impacting travelers at San Francisco International Airport among others. The FAA implemented a 45-minute ground stop due to an equipment failure at the Newark facility, with ripple effects resulting in at least two cancellations and 73 delays at SFO. Frustrated travelers voiced their concerns as this marks a string of technical issues affecting Newark's air traffic in recent weeks. U.S. Transportation Secretary Duffy highlighted the need for major upgrades to the outdated air traffic control system.
This marks the third time in the past two weeks that technical problems have disrupted air traffic at Newark Liberty International.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy appeared on NBC's "Meet The Press" and said the Air Traffic Control system is old and needs fixing.
Giles said her flight to SFO was delayed two hours out of Newark. "You're inconveniencing everyone. [...] It's frustrating when you have somewhere to go."
"Please fix it. It's terrible," said Neko Giles from San Pablo.
