Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announces the opening of another runway at Newark Liberty International Airport as delays over air traffic control outages and staffing shortages persist. CBS News' Tom Hanson reports.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Verizon worked to install new fiber optic cables that transmit flight data used to manage Newark's airspace.
A pilot with over 60 years' experience told Newsweek that "a good 'A' level traffic controller is a three-dimensional chess player." There's not enough today.
Duffy will also be joined by FAA Acting Administrator Chris Rocheleau, United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Chairman Kevin O'Toole.
