3:00Now PlayingThe US aviation regulator plans to upgrade technology infrastructure and staffing levels for air-traffic controllers that oversee flights bound for Newark Liberty International Airport after a critical outage led to more than week of severe flight disruptions.
Three new high-bandwidth data connections will be added to provide more reliability and redundancy between control systems in New York and Philadelphia that handle air traffic at Newark Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement on Wednesday.
The agency and the Transportation Department also plan to replace copper wire telecommunications infrastructure with fiber optic lines and deploy a backup system at the Philadelphia site as they make the switch.
Flights have been delayed or outright canceled at Newark for several days since last week, when the Philadelphia facility guiding planes in and out of the airport lost radar and radio communications for about 90 seconds. The FAA has been slowing arrivals and departures at the airport due to staffing shortages in Philadelphia, as well as runway construction at Newark.
Bloomberg Correspondent and 'Big Take' podcast host David Gura reports on lawmakers' response to the spate of challenges that have affected the FAA since January's deadly mid-air collision near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. David speaks with Tom Keene and Tim Stenovec on Bloomberg Radio.
