Meet the Press Interview with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on Newark Airport Safety Concerns

Published | Video Starts at 03:16

It's hard, but I want you to get to where you're traveling. And if that means slowing down flights into Newark, we slow them down to make sure we can do it safely. We lost a few controllers who were stressed out by the first connectivity that we lost last week. And so we have less controllers working in the Newark airspace right now. And you know, we're having these, these glitches in the system. So we slow it down and keep people safe. (03:16–03:22)
