L3Harris, contractor that revamped Trump’s Qatar-gifted jet, questioned by Sean Duffy amid FAA outage
US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has blamed contractor L3Harris, the same firm working on Trump’s Qatar jet, for Friday’s FAA ground stop.
US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy questioned L3Harris Technologies on Friday's nationwide FAA outage, speculating whether contractor "incompetence" or faulty equipment caused the issue. The outage led to a four-hour ground stop, affecting all air traffic control. L3Harris had previously modified a Qatar-gifted jet that could become President Donald Trump's new Air Force One.
The failure occurred during a network upgrade from copper to fiber wiring, causing a router to flood other routers in the system. FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford ruled out a cyberattack and said there was no evidence of nefarious activity or AI involvement.
