Transportation secretary says he doesn’t apologize for FAA’s nationwide ground stop
An NBC News article reports that Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, on Meet the Press, declined to apologize for the FAA's November 13 nationwide ground stop, which stranded hundreds of thousands of travelers and canceled thousands of flights, and would not guarantee it will not happen again. He blames 30 years of underinvestment, says FAA contractor L3Harris's router work triggered the outage, and asks Congress for $30.1 billion to modernize telecom and software the 2025 spending bill's $12.5 billion did not cover.
