Investing.com -- Newark Liberty International Airport experienced another technology outage that impacted both radar and communication systems, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The incident took place early Friday morning at 3:55 a.m. ET and lasted for approximately 90 seconds.
This is not the first technology-related disruption at Newark airport. In late April, a similar outage occurred at the same airport, which led to hours of flight delays and caused flights to be diverted. The outage in April also lasted for 90 seconds.
The recent outage was traced back to the Philadelphia air-traffic control tower, which controls the Newark airport’s radar and communication systems. The FAA confirmed the details of the outage.
The FAA is responsible for regulating and overseeing all aspects of American civil aviation.
