United Airline CEO Kirby: It’s ‘Absolutely’ Safe’ to Fly from N.J.’s Newark Airport Amid Airport’s Radar Outages

EXCERPT:

KIRBY: “It absolutely is safe at Newark and in the entire country. And the reason is, when these kinds of outages happen, we train for them. We have backup procedures. We have backups to backups to backups to keep the skies safe, which is always the number one priority. And in situations like this, when the radar outage happened at Newark, what happens is the pilots look for alternative frequencies.”
