Newark Airport disruptions have been intensified by air traffic controllers’ extended ‘trauma leave’ after system failures. | inconclusive |
🤖 Conclusion [30/100]: There is currently insufficient direct evidence to substantiate the claim that Newark Airport disruptions have intensified due to air traffic controllers taking extended 'trauma leave' after system failures. The claim is marked as 'inconclusive,' and no source references or supporting quotes are provided to validate or refute it. While it is plausible that staff shortages, including possible leaves of absence, might contribute to airport disruptions, the specific scenario of 'trauma leave' following system failures remains unconfirmed in available documentation. Therefore, the truthfulness of this statement is low but not zero, owing to the general plausibility when considering major operational disruptions, but with no supporting evidence provided.
