Corte de fibra óptica en Nueva Jersey detiene vuelos, luego se reanudan

La Administración Federal de Aviación informó que los vuelos en los aeropuertos de Newark, Filadelfia, JFK y LaGuardia se reanudaron el 22 de septiembre tras reparar el cable de fibra óptica cortado en Nueva Jersey, y que las cancelaciones descendieron a alrededor del 5 % en Newark y del 2 % en Filadelfia. 6abc Philadelphia informó de la reparación y CNBC informó de la reducción de cancelaciones.

El problema comenzó el 21 de septiembre cuando falló un circuito de comunicaciones compartido, lo que obligó a la FAA a imponer paradas en tierra en los aeropuertos afectados, según NBC New York, y NBC News señaló que el corte del cable desactivó los sistemas de control de tráfico aéreo en el centro de control de Filadelfia. El suceso subrayó las vulnerabilidades señaladas en un informe de la GAO sobre la susceptibilidad de los sistemas de comunicación de la FAA al spoofing y al jam, como indicó The Guardian.
