New York Governor Hochul (D) on the 14th demanded U.S. Transportation Secretary
Duffy resign or be removed by President Trump after a nationwide flight
shutdown. Hochul said aviation failures have become “routine,” citing
long-standing air-traffic controller shortages and repeated communications
system failures. Duffy on the 13th blamed the outage on an “extremely outdated
air-traffic control system.” Hochul urged Congress to launch a full
investigation into the shutdown.
