丹佛——前交通部长皮特·布蒂吉格抨击了特朗普政府对周五美国联邦航空局(FAA)全国停飞事件的处理方式,调侃将为受困旅客协助重新预订航班,而航班延误与取消情况仍在持续。

“我先做个公益公告,”布蒂吉格在丹佛对记者表示,“音乐会结束后我会在酒店酒吧,随时能帮需要重新预订航班或根据自身权益申请退款的人提供协助。”

他发表此番言论时,“明日之路”会议刚在丹佛闭幕。这场由民主党多数派主办的为期两天的集会,将各路领袖聚集一堂,商讨民主党在中期选举获胜后的发展方向。

联邦航空局在周五晚8点后不久解除了停飞令,此时距停飞令生效已过去4个多小时,但整个周末航班仍持续延误与取消。该机构将原因归结为安全隐患以及严重的空中交通管制通讯问题。

布蒂吉格表示自己没有停飞原因的内部消息,随后质疑航空系统的防护措施为何未能阻止如此大规模的停运。他称自己以一名即将于周六搭乘航班的旅客身份,关注着此次停运。

“该系统有多重冗余机制,正常情况下,就算某个环节出了问题,其他机制也能填补漏洞,”他说,“我不明白为何这套冗余机制未能阻止此次规模的停运。”

与此同时,特朗普政府官员对此次事故的解释不一。交通部长肖恩·达菲表示,事故原因仍在调查中,包括是否存在承包商失误或设备故障。

国土安全部部长马克韦恩·马林斯稍后表示,此次停飞并非由人工智能或网络攻击导致,而是因需要更新的老旧基础设施所致。总统唐纳德·特朗普告诉福克斯新闻,该系统因年久失修而崩溃。

周五的停运是2001年“9·11”恐怖袭击以来的第二次全国范围停飞。第一次发生在2023年1月,当时联邦航空局因“航行通告”系统故障暂停国内航班约90分钟,该系统旨在向飞行员提供安全信息。

联邦航空局当时表示未发现网络攻击的证据。布蒂吉格下令对此次停运展开审查,并指示该机构就事故原因提交报告、提出预防再次发生的措施。

Buttigieg takes swipe at Trump administration amid FAA flight chaos

The former transportation secretary questioned why the aviation system’s redundancies failed to prevent the outage

DENVER — Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg took a swipe at the Trump administration’s handling of Friday’s nationwide FAA ground stop, joking that he would help stranded travelers rebook flights as delays and cancellations continued.

I’ll begin with a public service announcement,” Buttigieg told reporters in Denver. “I will be available in the hotel bar following the concert for anybody who needs to rebook their flights or get a refund per your rights.”

He made the remark as the “What’s Next” conference wrapped up in Denver. The two-day gathering, hosted by Majority Democrats, brought leaders together to discuss the party’s direction after its midterm victories.

The FAA lifted the ground stop shortly after 8 p.m. Friday, more than four hours after it began, but flights remained delayed and canceled over the weekend. The agency cited safety concerns and serious air traffic control communications issues.

Buttigieg, who said he had no inside information about the cause of the ground stop, later questioned why the aviation system’s safeguards had not prevented an outage of that scale. He said he was watching the disruption as a traveler with a flight scheduled for Saturday.

“The system has many redundancies in it, so that normally, if there’s one point of failure, something else can catch it,” he said. “It is not clear to me why that redundancy did not prevent an outage of this magnitude.”

Meanwhile, Trump administration officials offered a mixed account of the failure. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the cause remained under investigation, including whether a contractor made an error or equipment failed.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin later said the stoppage was not caused by artificial intelligence or a cyberattack, but by aging infrastructure that needs to be updated. President Donald Trump told Fox News that the system had broken down because of its age.

People wait in Terminal B during a nationwide ground stop at Orlando International Airport on November 13, 2026 in Orlando City. Nearly 7,000 flights have been delayed or cancelled.()

Friday’s disruption was the second nationwide ground stop since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The first came in January 2023, when the FAA paused domestic departures for about 90 minutes because of an outage in its Notice to Air Missions system, which provides pilots with safety information.

The FAA said at the time it found no evidence of a cyberattack. Buttigieg ordered a review of that outage and directed the agency to report on what happened and recommend steps to prevent a recurrence.
