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 Jerseys 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.
