Those who control the air traffic have been for years, but they have experienced tension in 90 seconds Lack of equipment Last month, the world’s most congested airspace, the shortcomings, placement and patchwork solutions were detected for those who direct planes.
In addition, hundreds of flight delays, hundreds of flight delays that violate their journey for thousands of people for days. In two weeks, on Friday, at the same time there was another similar interruption in the same enterprise, although fewer plane in the air.
With expensive delays, airline executors have been developed for years to raise air traffic infrastructure and recent personnel shortcomings.
With the largest US Airlines, the Secretary of Transport Sean Duffy on Thursday presented a plan To replace the radar and communication systems dated in the US airspace, the congress of the Airlines Assessment may require more than $ 30 billion.
Duffy did not give a price label, but the work will cost billions of dollars and “front of the front” will require these funds on Thursday.
“Our system here is not worth saving,” he said. “It’s very old.”
Airlines, Airbus, Ge AerospaceLabor unions and other industries welcomed a few dollars on Thursday, and in the next three years, the next $ 5.5 billion in the next three years, the other 5.5 billion dollar funding and staff needed.
Some Democrats said Duffy was inspired by the new proposal, but did not include dozens of federal aviation management staff and air traffic supervisors in the beginning of this year.
“America wants to stay in the security of aviation security, we need intelligent investments – canceled investments and financing cuts.”
What’s the problem in Newark?

Pilots for large US Airlines are specially designed to manage such cuts.
But in a few seconds, a cut “is eternal for those who control the air traffic,” he said.
For the first time, some of the equipment cutting the facility, some Merring, some “took time to save the stress of the final results,” Faa said.
According to Flachaware, more than 1,500 Newark flights are delayed in the weekend week. United AirlinesHe said that he was a center from Newark To cut 35 flights a day To facilitate the tension from the work schedule and customers.
The Newark runway was closed for construction, added to the cuts.
A similar radar and communication cut occurred before dawn in the same facility that controls the Newark airport from Newark Airport on Friday.
New steps
On Wednesday, FAA will train staff in the Philadelphia facility and informing Newark flights can make their work to correct the communication lines that provide information to the control devices there, he said. There “said it planned to set up a temporary reserve system to ensure the majority in the transition to a more reliable fiberoptic network.
New updates can not come soon.
“We have computers, and today is the President of Nick Daniels Nick Daniels, based on Windows 95 and floppy Nick Daniels, in March.
Last year, FAA, the average age of the towers was 40 years old, and the most radar systems are approaching 40 years old. “The means of aging adds the risk of service breaches, including service.”
The plan presented on Thursday, 618 radar and six air traffic control center, as well as a plan called new fiber optic, wireless and satellite systems to replace old communication systems.

The accident is taking urgent
April 28 and previous interruptions did not cause any accident, but were more concerned about the chronic deficiency and chronic deficiency of the monitoring of the New York air traffic, especially in New York.
The United States controls about 45,000 flights per day due to air traffic supervisors.
Following the Black Sahin Army helicopter, the relevance reached a new level to correct the long-term problems collide with American Airlines On January 29, the regional jet killed 67 people on board the plane. It was painful Air crash in the United States since 2001.
“It should not get tragedy to solve the problem” Jetblue Airways CEO Joanna Geraghty, on Thursday’s organization organization, as the only airline located in the General Staff and New York, DC, said we know the control of air traffic and difficult.
“Let’s do it,” he said.
Why is Newark’s such a problem?
Newark deals with space restrictions to start.
Last year, 414,000 flights, New York and New York and New Jersey, New York, New York, New York International Airport 11% less flight. However, half of the Newark is the size of JFK.
Technology Glitches and personnel shortcomings have been especially difficult in Newark in recent days. Last year, FAA Long Island is designed to controllers in the Laguardia airport and JFK, which operates from an unit in New York, and JFK, in the Filadelphot, but still there are problems.

There are heads of airlines that are strongly to put capital in air traffic require However, it is limited and high costs due to the lack of supervisors.
“Please note that this specific Air Transportation has been chronically judged for years, and without these supervisors – and the FAA will notify us – and we will not be able to manage the number of planes planned to work there in weeks and months.”
In April 26, in April, the average of four flights per day in Newark, but the Aviation Analytics company rose to 39 a day after the cirium. About 80% of the flights were in the table in April before this date, but “below industrial standards”, fell to 63%, “he said.

Duffy said the weather is safe to travel. After the visit of the April 28, Filadelphia Facilities after the visit, FAA will not stop, if there is a shortage of those who control the air traffic, he will slow the arrival.
Director General of the United Uniteds Kirby, told a memorial workers who fly to Newark on Wednesday and Newark. He said that instructions and trainings to communicate to communicate to make communication to lose a radio contact to go to the right of the aircraft to go to a safe way to go to a safe way to go to a safe traveling of the carrier’s pilots.
Airlines did not rule out the capacity limit and final violation of the congestion.
United, US government for years for years, using the airport to effectively limit the number of flights to the airport, “Kirbin said in a note of employees. “It should not be forced to make these changes in the past, and most importantly, most importantly, the cases of our customers are now facing.”
In 2016, the FAA airport relieved flight restrictions and Kirby, FAA said to return to previous rules.
“This is a long time to treat EWR as a crown jewelry,” he said. “We will continue to work closely with the FAA and (transport department) to stabilize EWR and deliver the country once and for all and delivering the first-class air traffic system.”
Lack of personnel
The United States has been in short periods of 10,800 air traffic controls for Natcha, NATA, and the full personnel production.
“We had 146,000 applications for the last eight years,” Chris Wilbanks, “Chris Wilbanks, the Vice President of the Mission Support, which is employed in March,” the Vice-President of the Mission Support “,” he turns to the Academy of Oklahoma Training. “
In the previous fiscal year, the purpose of the FAA was to hire 1800 supervisors.
“We will lose 35% of those in the academy. In the field, after receiving work education, we will lose another 20%. Thus, we are not in 1600 controllers,” he said.
Invasional work requires the control of air traffic to retire at the age of 56 and applicants to the academy may not be over 30 years old. Many are forced to work in the six-day work week because of the shortcomings.
Duffy was recently moved to increase financial enthusiasm as a higher payment for those who control the air traffic. The start pay is around $ 45,000, Daniels, the US Labor Department, the United States is $ 144,580 for the United States for air traffic controller.
