Newark Airport saw two other blackouts before latest incident
A veteran Newark airspace controller tells NBC News that a temporary blackout of both radios and radar systems from last week happened at least two other times since August. The Department of Transportation is set to unveil plans to overhaul a decades-old ATC system nationwide, but it will take time. All of this comes as the Real ID requirement is now in place for travelers across the country. NBC’s Tom Costello reports for TODAY.
