The CEO of United Airlines maintains that New Jersey's Newark Airport is safe, despite construction, equipment failures and staffing issues that have resulted in delayed and canceled flights, NBC News' Marquise Francis reports.

Airline has trimmed its daily routes following technology and staffing issues affecting New Jersey hub.

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 about how safe it is to fly at one of the nation’s busiest airports.

The shortage on Monday forced the F.A.A. to delay flights to the busy airport for up to nearly seven hours, the latest problem to plague the airport.

Major delays and cancellations out of Newark Liberty International Airport​ could continue if multiple issues, including staffing shortages and equipment malfunctions, aren't solved.
