Air Traffic Control Outage Causes Widespread Disruptions
Flights have resumed at New York City-area airports after hundreds of cancellations on Monday due to damaged communications lines at a key air traffic control facility in Philadelphia. The outage, which was later repaired, affected every major airport in the NYC area, including Newark Liberty International Airport, which saw over 600 cancellations. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned that it may take some time to clear all existing delays, despite the repairs. The incident was reported by the Associated Press.
