A control tower supervisor at Reagan National Airport has been suspended while the Federal Aviation Administration investigates why he wasn’t available to aid two planes that landed at the airport earlier early Wednesday.

Federal Aviation Administration Administrator Randy Babbitt said he was “personally outraged” that the supervisor — the lone controller on duty in the airport tower at the time — failed to meet his duties.
