The FAA announced a reduction in flight operations at Newark Liberty International Airport in response to ongoing delays caused by runway construction, staffing shortages, and technology failures. Typically capable of handling 77 movements per hour, Newark will now only permit 28 departures and arrivals each hour until June 15, with continued construction pressures impacting future schedules. The FAA aims to ease passenger inconveniences as equipment issues and staffing challenges persist. Discussions with airlines, particularly United Airlines, have highlighted the need for immediate actions, including technology upgrades and improved hiring practices for air traffic controllers.
