  • Sen. Andy Kim, a New Jersey Democrat, said the FAA is not being transparent enough after visiting air traffic controllers in Philadelphia and Newark.

The article from The Philadelphia Inquirer discusses the frequent radar outages at Newark Liberty International Airport, which have been a significant concern for air traffic safety. U.S. Rep. Andy Kim has been actively involved in addressing these issues, criticizing the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for its slow response and inadequate solutions. The outages, which have occurred multiple times in recent years, are attributed to aging infrastructure and insufficient funding. Kim has called for increased investment in modernizing the FAA's systems and has introduced legislation to improve the agency's responsiveness to such critical safety issues. The article also touches on the broader context of air traffic control challenges during the Trump administration, highlighting a perceived lack of priority given to infrastructure maintenance and upgrades.
