Equipment issue again disrupts air traffic at Newark Liberty airport: FAA

Newark Liberty International Airport experienced ongoing air traffic control issues due to a telecommunications problem at the Philadelphia TRACON facility, prompting a 45-minute ground stop on Sunday. The FAA later clarified that the ground stop was caused by audio issues affecting radio frequencies, which forced a switch to backup systems. This incident marks the fourth disruption in two weeks, following similar technical problems that included radar outages impacting communication with aircraft.
