Microvast Holdings announces departure of chief financial officer
Investing.com -- A U.S. government watchdog announced Monday it will investigate the Federal Aviation Administration’s 2024 decision to move control of Newark’s airspace to Philadelphia.
The Transportation Department’s Office of Inspector General is launching the review following two serious communications outages affecting air traffic controllers who oversee Newark’s airspace. These incidents occurred in April and May, raising significant concerns.
The inspector general’s office stated that these events have prompted questions about how the FAA managed the relocation, particularly regarding "impacts on system redundancy, controller staffing and training, and operational resilience."
The FAA’s original decision to relocate the airspace control was made to address staffing shortages and congested air traffic in the New York City area.
