Sean Duffy 'Can't Apologize' For Nationwide Flight Nightmare — But Still Begs For Billions
After a nationwide ground stoppage on November 13, 2026 halted flights for four hours and left thousands stranded, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy appeared on five networks on November 15 and told NBC's Kristen Welker, "I can't apologize for what was passed off to us." Duffy blames decades of delayed investment, says fixing the air traffic control system would take far more than the $12.5 billion Congress approved in 2025, and proposes an additional $50 billion, saying "All I need is the money!"
