Denver Airport Outage: Air Traffic Control Lost Contact With Up To 20 Pilots For 6 Minutes On Monday, Reports Say [View all]

https://www.forbes.com/sites/suzannerowankelleher/2025/05/15/denver-airport-outage-air-traffic-control-lost-contact-with-up-to-20-pilots-for-6-minutes-on-monday-reports-say/

An outage at Denver International Airport caused air traffic controllers and pilots to lose contact Monday, following a series of recent radar outages at New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport that have raised concerns over flight safety in U.S. airspace.

As many as 20 pilots flying into the Denver International Airport on Monday afternoon lost contact with air traffic controllers for up to six minutes due to multiple radio transmitter outages, an ABC affiliate in Denver reported.

The incident follows a series of equipment failures at New Jersey’s Newark Airport, including an air traffic control equipment outage Sunday that lasted about 45 minutes and two telecommunications outages on April 28 and May 9, during which air traffic controllers lost contact with planes they were guiding to land at the airport.
