Terrible article on the whole, and Gizmodo sucks as a source, but nonetheless it's a bad look on Duffy's part. Newark has major issues. Just call a spade a spade.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy Changed His Wife’s Flight to Avoid Newark Airport
Would you let your family fly out of Newark?
By Matt Novak
May 13, 2025
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy keeps going on TV and insisting it’s safe to fly in and out of Newark Liberty Airport in New Jersey, despite a string of extremely frightening outages and workforce shortages recently. But Duffy has now admitted he changed a flight booked for his wife on Monday so that she wouldn’t have to travel through Newark.
Duffy made the startling admission to David Webb, a conservative radio host, during his SiriusXM show on Monday. And it’s a shocking thing to hear from the guy who’s supposed to make sure American air travel is safe.
“My wife was flying out of Newark tomorrow. I switched her flight to LaGuardia,” Duffy told the host of The David Webb Show as they discussed the recent problems at the airport.
It’s not clear if Duffy really understood what he had just admitted to publicly. Because Duffy has repeatedly claimed that it’s perfectly safe to fly through Newark, even as things seem to be falling apart there.

Actually, if you read the United Airlines subreddit you'd see that anyone in the know isn't flying through Newark, not because of safety but because you're setting yourself up for a headache of delays and/or cancellations.

It's been publicly announced that Newark is sketch.

So what?

Pretty sure he said it was a shite show weeks ago and thats why efforts will be there first.
Now if this were a gay democrat on paternity leave, he might say they don't want solutions to problems.

Obviously being perfectly safe doesn't mean its efficient or convenient or preferable to other options.
But OMGGGGG REEEEEE! This is the biggest scandal ever. Its the worst thing to happen since Signalgate. NewarkGate! Duffy has to go!

If my wife told me to change her flight, I would do it. I don't see what the big deal is.

Big deal.
Newark was already a Class A shite hole, these ATC incidents just goes to prove this even more

For 10 years they have made a huge deal about anything Trump.
But anyway, I can't believe you would change your wife's flight. Are you a fascist or something?

What is the Big Deal? You consistently try and perform gotcha when there is no gotcha there.

Smart. Newark is a 3rd world shithole. Will never fly into Oakland ever again as well.
Posted on 5/13/25 at 4:37 pm to NC_Tigah
Smart move on his part.

So, this is 2025 it is not that difficult to change your flight and given what has been happening in NJ, who would blame anyone for doing so...

Maybe he had the opportunity to do as she was occupied? Do you not do things for your wife or boyfriend?

I'm having the hardest time finding where he said the change was due to safety in that quote.

Every airport serving NYC is awful.

I flew into Newark two weeks ago when all of their problems started. I ended up being delayed more than four hours. If I had known, I might have switched to a flight into LaGuardia or JFK and saved at least a couple hours. Newark is a shite show, I can't blame Secretary Duffy for the switch at all.
