FAA cuts flight operations at Newark airport in New Jersey

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) began cutting flights at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey, after weeks of serious disturbances of equipment interruption, a lack of air traffic monitoring employees and a constant running.

The temporary matter, which came into effect on Tuesday, comes a meeting to reduce the delay last week when the Federal Aviation Administration met several airlines to address the continuous delays in flying and crowding in Newark. In recent weeks, passengers have faced several hours and hundreds of overpowered or late flights.

“Our goal is to reduce the great inconvenience of the roaming audience from excessive flight delays due to construction, employment challenges, and recent equipment issues, which exaggerate during their spread through the national airspace,” Chris Roshilo said in a statement on Tuesday.

While Newark had a maximum of 77 per hour, the temporary demand reduces the size of the trip to 56 hours per hour until June 15, 2025, when the daily construction of the corridor is expected to end. Outside the construction period, the maximum rates of access and departure will rise to a total of 68 hours per hour until October 25, 2025. On Saturday, FAA will maintain a rate of 56 hours per hour until the end of the year with the continued construction of the weekend.
