The CEO of United Airlines maintains that New Jersey's Newark Airport is safe, despite construction, equipment failures and staffing issues that have resulted in delayed and canceled flights, NBC News' Marquise Francis reports.

There is more bad news for Newark Liberty International Airport. The FAA wants to keep reducing flights at the troubled airport for months to come.

The shortage on Monday forced the F.A.A. to delay flights to the busy airport for up to nearly seven hours, the latest problem to plague the airport.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Monday that “fast-track” fixes are being made to address the continuing communications and radar failures at Newark Liberty International Airport.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says a new software update prevented a third radar outage over the last two weeks at New Jersey's busy Newark airport when a telecommunications line failed again over the weekend.

Sunday's incident marks the fourth time in the past two weeks that technical problems have disrupted air traffic at Newark.
