Polly Trottenberg: ‘I Suspect It Will Take a Couple Days to Untangle This’ After Nationwide Ground Stop
‘The way the aviation system works now, so many pieces are kind of operating just in time’
RUSH EXCERPT:
TROTTENBERG: “Yeah. And you know, Jen, you mentioned what happened back a few years ago when we had the notum outage, and it took a couple of days to dig out from under that. And that was sort of a 90 minute outage. Obviously, the way the aviation system works now, so many pieces are kind of operating just in time. I suspect it will take a couple days to to untangle this, but I think it is good news again, that at least flights are starting to take off tonight, partially. I think we’ll see throughout the night how much progress”
