FAA Outage Caused by Legacy Tech, Not AI
6 min read
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy states a nationwide groundstop occurred because outdated Time-Division Multiplexing systems overloaded, not due to new AI. The FAA received $15 billion over 25 years for modernization. A September 2026 GAO report notes only 2,560 of 5,170 aging copper wires were replaced. Secretary Duffy requests $30.1 billion for infrastructure upgrades by November 13.
