Denver Airport's 90-Second Blackout: Third Strike in Recent Weeks

Denver International Airport Suffers 90-Second Communications Outage, Third Incident in Recent Weeks Denver, CO - Denver International Airport (DIA) experienced a significant communications outage on Monday afternoon, disrupting communications with aircraft for 90 seconds. This marks the third such incident in recent weeks, following two similar outages at a New York airport. The FAA confirmed the outage, stating that while communications were lost, the airport's radar systems remained operational, preventing any safety incidents. "Thankfully, the aircraft remained safely separated and there were no impacts to operations," said an FAA spokesperson. The cause of the outage is currently under investigation, but the repeated nature of these incidents raises serious questions about the reliability of the airport's communication systems and raises concerns about potential future disruptions. The FAA is committed to identifying and addressing the root cause of this recurring problem to ensure the safety and efficiency of air travel.
