00:23From Washington, AFP reports that Duffy hailed the project as a revolutionary advancement,

00:30in contrast to the patchwork repairs of previous administrations.

00:34However, the costly plan will require congressional approval for implementation.

00:39This comes at a time when the Trump administration is pursuing budget cuts to enable large tax breaks.

00:45The air traffic controllers union has long complained about old buildings,

00:49radar technology that is no longer in production, and even outdated computers running on floppy disks.

01:04Among recent incidents is an unusual situation on April 28 at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey,

01:11where radar and radio communication with aircraft were lost for 90 seconds from the Philadelphia control room.

01:17Earlier on January 29, a passenger plane and a military helicopter collided in the skies above Washington's Reagan National Airport,

01:26the first major commercial aviation accident since 2009.

01:30Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blamed the previous minister of the Biden administration for these problems.

01:37He raised the issue at a Trump cabinet meeting on April 30.

01:40There, Trump said, we'll bring in a big contractor.

01:45Maybe Raytheon, maybe IBM.

01:47You give one person responsibility.

01:49They're huge, financially strong, and they guarantee they?

01:53Connect the entire system.

01:55Handle everything themselves.

01:57Duffy has not yet provided details of the project.

02:00However, a statement from the Department of Transportation on Thursday's event called it

02:05the dawn of a golden age in transportation.

02:08Newark's Special Challenges

02:10The FAA, Federal Aviation Administration, stated that after the system disruption,

02:17the rate of arrivals and departures at Newark has been reduced.

02:24Additionally, steps have been taken to increase backup equipment and the number of controllers.

02:35However, Michael McCormick, an associate professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and former FAA control room manager,

02:42said that while Newark's problems are familiar across the U.S., some factors make it unique.

02:49He stated that the decision to relocate Newark's controllers from Long Island to Philadelphia in 2024

02:54was primarily the cause of this telecom disruption.

02:58However, McCormick said that even if communication with controllers was lost,

03:03it was possible to identify the positions of other aircraft through the aircraft's internal technology,

03:09allowing flights to operate safely.

03:11There were backup systems, though it's not ideal, he said.
