Sean Duffy Blames Biden for Air Traffic Control Crisis Affecting US Airlines

  • Former Congressman Sean Duffy blamed the Biden administration for ongoing air traffic control delays and disruptions at Newark Liberty International Airport in 2025.
  • Duffy argued the issues stem from long-standing system cracks and underinvestment, but critics note the plan he supports lacks specific public details.
  • The FAA faces a shortage of controllers and aging infrastructure, leading to flight cancellations, delays, and strained airline operations amid a slow training process.
  • In 2025, the FAA signed a $2.4 billion, 15-year Verizon contract to replace Newark’s problematic copper wires with fiber-optic cables as part of modernization efforts.
  • The situation remains unresolved, highlighting the urgent need for federal action to modernize air traffic control and address staffing shortages to prevent further disruptions.
