The safety nightmare continues at Newark Liberty International Airport, where all air traffic control will be manned by just one fully qualified person during its busiest time tonight, The Post can exclusively reveal.

Several times over the last year, Newark controllers lost radar or radio service, leaving them unable to talk with planes they were tracking.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy tells "CBS Mornings" it will take months to restore normal operations at Newark Liberty International Airport.

The airport, which served 49 million travelers in 2024 and is the second busiest in the New York City area, has been drowning in delays and cancellations for days.

At times Monday evening, as few as three air traffic controllers per hour were lined up to monitor via radar the planes flying into and out of the airport, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) briefly slowed air traffic at Newark Liberty International Airport on Sunday because a new telecommunications issue affected the Philadelphia facility

Radar and telecommunications systems for Newark Airport’s air traffic controllers failed Friday morning — the second time the two critical systems went down at the same time in less than two

Caught in the middle of the issues at Newark is United Airlines, which is the most active airline at the New Jersey airport. While the problems lie with the FAA system, the airline is where people often aim their frustrations over cancellations and delays.

Similar to last summer, there is currently a nationwide shortage of air traffic controllers, which will “take time” to replenish, according to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
