Several major airlines face constant Flight interruptions At the Newark Liberty International Airport in New Tishsei, when the object claims to continue personnel and technological problems.
Last week, the air traffic controllers in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in Philadelphia lost radars and radio signals, sending aircraft to Newark nearly 90 seconds, causing significant delays and cancellations that remain.
However, ancient problems have arisen in the system of air traffic control, including stable staffing deficiency, outdated technology and chronic insufficiency in critical infrastructure. The situation in Newark, however, was even more intense construction at the airport, which temporarily works with only one of its parallel runways.

American Airlines said his customers were also injured.
‘Newark problems led to delay and interruptions For airlines and their customers “Including an American – and demonstrate an urgent need for cooperation and upgrading our air traffic control system,” the carrier said in a Fox Business statement.
The United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby told clients on Friday that the refusal of technology led to “dozens of distracted flights, hundreds of delay and canceled flights and, most of all, thousands of customers with broken travel plans.”

To try to minimize the impact that it will have on the clients, Kirby said the carrier one -sidedly canceled 35 flights per day from the Newark schedule that has already declined.

‘Disappointed to make further reduction to the already reduced schedule in Newark, but since there is no way to solve the closest Structural problems with FAA personnel, We feel there is no other choice to protect our customers, ”Kirby added.

While Delta Air Lines said it canceled “minimum” flights to Newark, there are still departures and delay arrivals due to air traffic delay programs. The carrier has approximately 30 daily trips to the airport, including managing his global partners.
If there is a cancellation, the carrier reviewed the customers to the next best route, which may include centers in the neighboring Laguardia and JFK.

The FAA turned to the staffing deficit, which contributed to the Newark issues, saying that in the statement that if it “could not quickly replace (the controllers left) from this highly specialized profession, we continue to train controllers, which will eventually be assigned to this busy air.”
The agency said it was on the way to hire at least 2000 controllers this year after this year, which increased the starting salary for the academy’s interns by 30%.
The agency said the Transport Minister Sean Dafa was ordering the hiring, changing the old octagonal process of hiring in the FAA for a five -step process. It has already shaved for five months from the old hiring process, FAA said.
