Description

It’s been a rough few weeks at the airport in New Jersey after two radar and radio outages - but there’s a lot more to the story.

The acting administrator with the U-S Federal Aviation Administration says travel into Newark is safe.

But it’s not the only issue with air travel in the U-S this year, which might have some travelers concerned ahead of the summer travel season.

Host Kris McCusker speaks to George Ferguson - Senior Aerospace, Defense & Airline analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence – about what’s been happening, how it gets fixed and who is to blame.
