Transport Minister Sean Duffy changed his wife’s journey to avoid Newark Airport

Transport Minister Sean Duffy continues on television and insists that it is safe to fly inside and outside the Newark Liberty Airport in New Jersey, despite a series of very frightening interruptions and the work of the workforce recently. But Duffy now admitted that he had a journey that was booked to his wife on Monday so that she would not have to travel through Newark.

Duffy made amazing acceptance to David Webb, a conservative radio host, during the Siriusxm show on Monday. It is shocking to hear from the man who is supposed to make sure that American air travel is safe.

“My wife was flying from Newark tomorrow. Her journey has turned to La Gardadia,” Duffy told the David Web host while discussing recent problems at the airport.

It is not clear whether Duffy really understood what he has just admitted publicly. Because Duffy has repeatedly claimed that it is completely safe to fly through Newark, even when things seem to collapse there.

Newark has been subjected to three important technical interruptions in the past two weeks at the Philadelphia facility, where air traffic for New Jersey Airport is monitored. Radio screens went in black and fell silent radio devices April 28 For approximately 30 seconds in an experiment, the traffic monitors outperform the shock. The screens went again dark May 9 For about 90 seconds, and on May 11The equipment interruption caused a group to stop for 45 minutes.

The New York Times also reported only late Monday Three air traffic control units They were monitoring the traffic in Newark during a seizure that was 14 years old. The paper stated that the number of “fully approved control units” was sometimes “one or two” during the transformation.

Duffy was asked on Tuesday morning CNBC Nearly Airport is specifically around and it seems somewhat confident that it is safe.

“He is safe because we have a lot of repetition in FAA,” Duffy told CNBC Andrew Ross Sorkin host. “So when you face problems with your communications, we slow the traffic, and that’s exactly what we have done in Newark. Then even if you lose contacts, as I saw twice in the past two weeks, there are measures with air traffic control and pilots. Thus they are safe.”

Dafi has been repeatedly delivered to the administration of President Joe Biden Failure He was tried on his watch and deviated when asked whether the recent discounts made by Elon Musk were the so -called government efficiency played any role. Dog launched hundreds of people in the Federal Aviation Administration, but Duffy insists that none of them was decisive to the agency’s safety mission.

“We have already worked. We have appointed more air traffic control over this time,” Duffy said on Sunday. Meet. “There were control workers who were left – those who were there less than a year – and again, we excluded safety sites … most of them returned.”

Its confirmation has not been checked independently, and we are forced to take him with his word on it. Trump regime members are not fully known for their sincerity.

Republicans like Duffy are not great in understanding how systems work. It seems that many believe that you can shoot at support staff and assuming that everything will continue to work smoothly. For example, the Food and Drug Administration was launched under Robert F. Kennedy Junior has recently a group of employees who have seized flights and logistics organization for scientists who need to perform safety inspections in foreign countries such as India, according to what he said Associated Press. These people were vital to ensure that the inspectors could take their functions, which does not seem to be the cost stations.

A comment was reached on the Duffy trip that was canceled for his wife, he told the FAA GIADODO spokesperson to ask people in the Ministry of Transport, which oversees FAA. Dot has not yet answered our questions. Gizmodo will update this post if we hear.
