U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Verizon worked to install new fiber optic cables that transmit flight data used to manage Newark's airspace.

Newark Liberty International Airport shared encouraging news Monday that should ease concerns for those traveling in the coming weeks. Unfortunately, Newark Liberty International Airport has made headlines multiple times in the past six weeks due to air traffic control outages.

Duffy will also be joined by FAA Acting Administrator Chris Rocheleau, United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Chairman Kevin O'Toole.
