NEW YORK GOVERNOR KATHY HOCHUL CALLS ON DUFFY TO RESIGN

WASHINGTON, NOVEMBER 14 /SRNA/ - New York Governor Kathy Hochul has called on US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to resign over the way his department handled an apparent technical issue that caused flight suspensions across the country.

Hochul said that serious failures in the US aviation system, ranging from chronic air traffic controller shortages to repeated communication breakdowns, had become a pattern under Duffy's leadership.

"We are fortunate that no lives were lost, given that more than 3,500 aircraft were in the air when the incident occurred," Hochul said.

She called on US President Donald Trump to dismiss Duffy if he refuses to resign.

She also urged Congress to conduct a full investigation into the incident.
