Senator Richard Blumenthal has raised concern over the staffing levels of air traffic controllers at Bradley International Airport in Connecticut. Recent air disasters in Washington D.C. and Philadelphia have highlighted the importance of airline safety. Blumenthal revealed that Bradley is understaffed, with a shortage of 25% in air traffic controllers and 30% in the Radar Control Center. This trend is also seen nationwide, with 90% of airports facing staffing shortages. Blumenthal is calling for more hiring and modern equipment to address this issue. Despite these concerns, he reassures Connecticut flyers that flying is still safer than driving. While airport officials did not comment on staffing, Blumenthal is continuing to push for improvements to ensure safe air travel.
