US Transportation Secretary Explains Flight Disruptions and Calls for System Upgrades
US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the gradual resumption of flights following a total shutdown caused by a technical glitch in communication systems.
US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed that air traffic is gradually returning to normal after a complete halt occurred last Friday.
The Secretary clarified that the primary cause of the disruption was a technical failure in aircraft communication systems, categorically denying any involvement of a cyberattack.
Duffy noted that airport infrastructure relies on outdated equipment dating back decades, highlighting an urgent need for government funding to modernize air navigation networks.
He emphasized that investing in technical upgrades is essential to ensure the stability of these systems and to prevent similar malfunctions in the future.
Meanwhile, some airlines continue to face delays and cancellations, as relevant authorities work to reschedule affected flights and restore full operational capacity.
