There is more turbulence for travelers at Newark Liberty International Airport. The FAA is significantly reducing the number of hourly flights.
The interim rule will cap the number of arrivals and departures at Newark Liberty International Airport at 28 apiece per hour. That’s in line with the limits imposed after about half a dozen controllers went on a 45-day trauma leave following the first outage on April 28.
Three days of meetings to discuss reducing the number of flights at Newark Liberty International Airport concluded Friday in the wake of critical air traffic control problems around the metro New York hub and other US airports.
