Transport Secretary Shan Duffi plans to reduce the number of flights at and outside the Newark Liberty International Airport for “next several weeks” with the deficiency of traffic controllers with the deficiency of radar and cancellation of numerous aircraft.
Speaking at the NBC’s “Meet the Press”, Duffy said that he would convene a meeting with all the airlines flying outside the net this week and would add that it would fluctuate when the international aircraft arrived at the airport.
“We want to keep a number of flights that you know if you booked your flight, you know it is about to fly, isn’t it?” He “This is priority. So you won’t go to the airport, wait four hours and then delay”
The Federal Aviation Administration has reported that the radar operates on and outside the Newark Airport for the convenience of Philadelphia, which is black for 90am on Friday at 9:55 am on Friday, similar to an incident of April 28.
According to the FAA, on average 34 arrivals were canceled every day from mid -April, according to the FAA, the number of delays from five to evening is increasing by five in the morning. They last 85 to 137 minutes on average.
The Trump administration on Thursday proposed the US Airlines Traffic Control System overhaul, with six new Air Traffic Control Centers and technology and communication and communication upgrades, all aircraft traffic in the country within the next three or four years.
Duffy said on Sunday that he was planning to extend the compulsory retirement age for air traffic controllers from 56 to 619, as he was trying to navigate about 5 people in that specialized position.
He is planning to pay a 20% Up Front Bonus to stay in the job of these Air traffic controllers. However, he says that many Air traffic controllers prefer to retire after 25 years of service, which means that he retires around 50 years.
“They don’t settle overnight,” said Doff. “But when we go up-one, two years, old boys, young boys are coming, men and women-we can create this 3,000-person difference.”
Adding more air traffic controllers against the top priority of the Trump administration – slashing jobs to almost all other federal agencies. However, the CEO of the United Airlines Scott Kirby CBS said in CBS’s “Face the Nation” that Duffy is desirable to keep “cautious tape” in the FAA’s protection and separate those workers from cutting from the cost of the Dog.
Kirby said that United had already reduced his schedule to Neck and would meet Duffy late this week. He is hoping that the deepest cut of power will last by June 15 when construction work on any of the runway of the net is expected to be completed, although he thinks that something will decrease throughout the summer.
“We have low flights, but we keep everything safe and we get the plane safely to the ground,” said Kirbi. “Protection is number one, and so I’m not concerned about protection. I am concerned about the customer’s delay and effect.”
