The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has tentatively decided to extend the operating restriction order at New York’s Newark Liberty International Airport.
Earlier this year, the airport operated more than 80 flights per hour, but since late May, it has been limited to 68 flights. During weekend construction periods from September 1 to December 31, it is expected to be limited to 56 flights, and from the winter schedule of 2025 to the summer schedule of 2026, it is projected to be 72 flights.
Scott Kirby, CEO of United Airlines, the largest airline at Newark, welcomed the decision, stating that it is “essential for Newark Airport to remain a safe and reliable airport for millions of travelers domestically and internationally.”
Newark Airport has frequently experienced delays and cancellations due to aging systems, construction, and a mass retirement of controllers.
