Billy Nolen, former acting FAA administrator, joins CNBC's 'Money Movers' to discuss expectations for Newark Airport in the wake of outages, whether investigations into airports may increase, and more.

Many flights have been delayed at the busy hub because of radar outages, shortages of air traffic controllers and construction on a runway.

Moving air traffic controllers means retraining them on the quirks of a new facility, and the process can take years.
