Many flights have been delayed at the busy hub because of radar outages, shortages of air traffic controllers and construction on a runway.

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.

Radar and telecommunications systems for Newark Airport’s air traffic controllers failed Friday morning — the second time the two critical systems went down at the same time in less than two

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The U.S. Transportation Secretary has announced a plan to address air traffic control (ATC) system outages at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) that will almost certainly involve reducing the number of flights in and out of the busy New Jersey/New York metropolitan area airport that is also a home hub for United Airlines.

Billy Nolen, former acting FAA administrator, joins CNBC's 'Money Movers' to discuss expectations for Newark Airport in the wake of outages, whether investigations into airports may increase, and more.

At times Monday evening, as few as three air traffic controllers per hour were lined up to monitor via radar the planes flying into and out of the airport, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
