Tap title to read story
A second US air traffic control facility experienced a 90-second communication outage this week, following similar incidents in Philadelphia and Colorado. The Colorado outage, affecting a portion of Western airspace, saw controllers briefly lose contact with some pilots but quickly restored communication using a backup frequency. The FAA is investigating these recurring disruptions, which have caused flight delays and raised safety concerns, particularly after recent outages at Newark Liberty International Airport.
