Moving air traffic controllers means retraining them on the quirks of a new facility, and the process can take years.
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.
BDL received three flights following a communications blackout at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey on April 28.
