The outage was 30 seconds but then the displays took another minute to boot \u2013 that\u2019s where you get 30 and 90 seconds, but the telecom was out for 30 seconds.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The outages briefly affected the phone line and radio frequencies used by controllers to communicate with pilots. Duffy said these frequencies were restored quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Duffy blamed the recent outages at Newark airport on the Biden administration, claiming that issues began when air traffic control was moved from New York to Philadelphia in July 2024. However, the radar data system for Newark stayed in New York \u2013 it wasn\u2019t relocated to Philadelphia where the controllers were.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Biden administration bungled this move without properly hardening the telecom lines feeding the data which was already well known to be error prone,\u201d Duffy said during the conference. \u201cWithout addressing the underlying infrastructure, they added more risk to the system.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"article-leaderboard bn-1\"\/>\n<h2 id=\"new-communication-connections-to-secure-newark-airspace\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>New communication connections to secure Newark airspace<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>To address the problems that led to flight delays at Newark airport, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released a software update on May 9, 2025, to prevent future outages. Duffy stated that \u201cthe software patch was successful and redundant lines are now both working.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to Duffy, the temporary software fixes should prevent future outages, but the main problem is the telecommunication lines.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Duffy said he will ask the International Investigative Group (IIG) to launch an investigation \u201cinto the failures of the last administration and the decisions that were made\u201d to relocate the TRACON from N90 in New York to Philadelphia. Duffy added that the FAA is putting together a team of experts to quickly implement the necessary fixes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"article-leaderboard bn-2\"\/>\n<p>In late May 2025, the US DOT will meet with leaders from Verizon and L3Harris to discuss ongoing telecom problems. Duffy stated that they will work quickly to \u201cget efficient and effective lines working for Newark.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Duffy stated that the main goal is to establish three new communication connections between New York and Philadelphia. He also added the FAA is currently implementing a temporary backup system for the Philadelphia TRACON.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis system will ensure that if both fiber connections fail at the same time, air traffic controllers will still be able to communicate with aircraft and with other controllers,\u201d Duffy explained.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"article-leaderboard bn-3\"\/>\n<p>The FAA plans to set up a STARS hub at the Philadelphia TRACON to avoid having to rely on getting data from New York.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Duffy said the FAA will hold a meeting with airlines on May 14, 2025, to discuss reducing the number of landings at Newark airport.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three new communication connections will be established between New York and Philadelphia to address recent radar outages that led to flight delays at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), US Department of Transport Secretary Sean Duffy announced.\u00a0 During a conference, held on May 12, 2025, Duffy said three recent equipment incidents on April 28, May 9, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":239830,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12024],"tags":[16353,12974,19727,1850,19742,1538,38336],"dealstore":[],"offerexpiration":[],"class_list":["post-239829","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aerospace","tag-add","tag-communication","tag-delays","tag-dot","tag-ease","tag-links","tag-newark"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
