“Is America’s Air Travel Really Safe”

 Bill Bunkley’s “This Is Something to Think About”

Air Date Tuesday, May 6, 2025

The summer travel season will be upon us soon, and new concerns have surfaced about the safety of America’s airline travel, and those concerns are taking center stage.

With an antiquated computer flight tracking system, Biden’s unqualified DEI hires, and employee shortages, our Air Traffic Control System is barely limping along.

Newark Liberty International Airport, outside New York City, canceled scores of flights this past weekend due to staff shortages.

Andrew Holleran of the Men’s Journal states, “Travelers using Newark Liberty International Airport have been warned. The busy flight hub is not Safe.”

Newark flight cancellations, plus other airport delays, can take days to get travelers to their destinations.

Add these delays to backups at the TSA over the REAL-ID compliant “star rating,” and summer travel could mean a mess for air travelers.
