NEW YORK (AP) _ The region's three major airports lack technology designed to prevent airplanes from colliding with each other, and it could be years before all of them have it, a lawmaker said Sunday.
LaGuardia, John F. Kennedy International and Newark (N.J.) Liberty International airports don't have the surface detection equipment technology that alerts air traffic controllers to potential collisions within 5 miles of an airport, including on runways, U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer said.
