  Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy weighed in on flying out of the airport just hours after the latest blackout.

On February 14, 2024, a power outage at Newark Liberty International Airport caused significant disruptions, leading to the cancellation of 422 flights and delays of 677 others. The incident, which occurred around 11:30 PM, affected the airport's Air Traffic Control Tower, forcing a temporary halt to all incoming and outgoing flights. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey worked to resolve the issue, with power being restored by 2:30 AM. Amidst the chaos, former President Donald Trump's Transportation Secretary, Elaine Chao, faced criticism for the incident, with some questioning the safety and management of the nation's transportation infrastructure. The outage was attributed to an electrical panel failure, and while the backup systems failed to kick in immediately, the situation was eventually brought under control.
