Pete Buttigieg Responds to FAA Ground Stop, Then Takes a Swipe at Trump Administration

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg responded to the nationwide FAA ground stop on November 13, 2026, pushing back against criticism of the Biden administration's handling of air traffic control modernization.

Buttigieg said his team worked to upgrade the system and recalled how officials responded to a major outage during his tenure. Rather than blame the Trump administration, he said they focused on fixing the problem. He also urged transparency about the latest outage, emphasizing that aviation safety should not become a political fight.

Do you agree with Buttigieg that the focus should be on fixing the FAA's problems rather than assigning political blame?
