  • Air traffic controllers lost contact with aircraft heading to and from Newark Liberty International Airport last week, their union said, detailing an equipment failure that led to massive flight delays and raised more concerns about aging U.S. aviation infrastructure and staffing shortages.

The article from Yahoo News discusses the significant travel disruptions at Newark Liberty International Airport, which were triggered by a power outage affecting the air traffic control tower. This incident led to a halt in all incoming and outgoing flights, causing widespread delays and cancellations. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported that the power was restored, but the ripple effects continued to impact travelers throughout the day. The article highlights the frustration of passengers, some of whom were stranded for hours, and notes that the situation was exacerbated by ongoing staffing shortages and other operational challenges within the aviation industry.
