Rep. Subramanyam Statement on Nationwide Ground Stop

LEESBURG, VA – U.S. Representative Suhas Subramanyam (VA-10), a member of the House Oversight Committee, released the following statement about the national ground stop that took place tonight:

“While I’m relieved that the nationwide ground stop has been lifted, I have deep concerns about what transpired and the Administration's explanation. Thousands of passengers still don’t know when they’ll be able to make it home. 

What we do know is that this Administration's firings, incompetence, and irresponsible handling of technology at agencies like FAA and CISA have made us less safe. 

The American people deserve real answers and assurances that it is safe to fly. This Administration must take responsibility for its failures and give Congress a full explanation of what happened and how it will be prevented in the future.”
