Newark Liberty International Airport radar screens go dark again
Share this @internewscast.com

Early Friday, radar screens at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey experienced yet another failure. This problem emerged just two weeks after a previous outage led to extensive flight cancellations.

The brief outage unfolded just before 4 a.m., WABC reported.

Audio transmissions captured air traffic controllers alerting at least two incoming planes that the radar screens had gone dark.

In one instance, an air traffic controller advised a private jet arriving from Cyprus to maintain an altitude above 3,000 feet as a precaution in case communication was lost during its descent.

Another controller was also reportedly overheard telling a FedEx pilot about the black-out issue.

The Post reached out to the Federal Aviation Administration but didn’t immediately hear back.

This latest issue adds to the ongoing challenges the airport faces with flight delays and cancellations. Just recently, on April 28, air traffic controllers endured a communication disruption with aircraft in flight for a period of at least 30 seconds.

The FAA was quick to blame that meltdown on a shortage of air traffic controllers at the airport, as well as runway construction.
