US EditionDenver air traffic controllers temporarily lose radio communications with aircraft
- Air traffic controllers at Denver International Airport lost radio communications with pilots for about 90 seconds on Monday afternoon due to multiple FAA transmitter failures.
- This outage followed two recent radar and communication failures at Newark Liberty International Airport that highlighted ongoing reliance on aging air traffic control equipment.
- During the Denver incident, controllers lost both primary and backup radio frequencies but used an emergency channel to maintain safe separation with no operational disruptions.
- California Rep. Robert Garcia expressed that outages are "happening now more regularly," citing staffing shortages and equipment issues at air traffic control as major concerns.
- These failures increased urgency for a multibillion-dollar FAA modernization plan announced last week aiming to overhaul the air traffic control system after recent crashes and repeated outages.
