CHICAGO (Reuters) -United Airlines is facing a financial hit and potential long-term reputational harm as flight delays and cancellations pile up due to ongoing disruptions at Newark airport - one of its largest hubs and among the busiest in the country.

BDL received three flights following a communications blackout at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey on April 28.

Newark approach lost radar and comms with at least 16 commercial jets. Many circled in oval loops before landing elsewhere. A CNN data analysis reveals the ripple effects from the outage.

In the aftermath of events like this, the FAA consistently claims that “safety was never compromised.” This is double-speak for “nothing happened this time.”
