US EditionAnother equipment outage at Newark airport causes FAA to issue brief ground stop
- The FAA issued a 45-minute ground stop Sunday morning at Newark Liberty International Airport due to an air traffic control equipment outage.
- This outage followed previous technical failures, including a 90-second radar disruption Friday and a major April 28 incident causing controller trauma leave and over a thousand cancellations.
- A technical problem at the Philadelphia TRACON Area C, responsible for managing Newark Liberty International Airport’s airspace, led to a ground stop there, while an unrelated runway equipment malfunction prompted a separate ground stop at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport on the same day.
- As of 11 a.m., FlightAware reported approximately 67 delays and 79 cancellations at Newark Airport. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy assured that flying from Newark remains safe and stated that flight operations will be temporarily scaled back over the coming weeks as efforts to address the issue continue.
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized the FAA, stating "We need answers, not reassurances," and urged a prioritized and coordinated response to Newark's recurring issues with nationwide impact.
