United Airlines executives are trying to reassure their customers it is safe to fly at Newark Liberty International Airport, despite widespread cancellations and air traffic control issues continuing to spark concerns.

Several equipment outages over the past two weeks at the Philadelphia-based air traffic control center that guides planes to and from Newark Liberty International Airport have raised concerns on how safe it is to fly at one of the nation’s busiest airports.

United Airlines is facing a financial hit and potential long-term reputational harm as flight delays and cancellations pile up due to ongoing disruptions at Newark airport - one of its largest hubs and among the busiest in the country.
