A Connecticut state senator says her struggle to get home from an international trip highlights ongoing problems with commercial air travel.
State Sen. Sujata Gadkar-Wilcox said she was among thousands of passengers affected by widespread airline delays while trying to return to Connecticut from a legislative trip to Norway.
"It's been a long and frustrating day trying to get back home to my family in Connecticut from a legislative trip to Norway," Gadkar-Wilcox said.
The senator said the experience underscores the need for greater transparency and accountability in the airline industry.
She said improvements are needed to ensure safety and help travelers get home to their families as quickly as possible during major disruptions.
