Newark Airport has seen hundreds of flight delays and cancellations due to a severe shortage of air traffic controllers, concurrent runway construction, and adverse weather conditions. Clint Henderson from The Points Guy highlights that the staffing crisis is particularly acute at Newark, with no immediate solutions forecasted. Airline analysts suggest that the systemic problems contributing to the airport's meltdown have been ongoing and will likely persist for years due to the slow pace of required training and technology investments.
It seems to be coming to a head this week because of a dramatic shortage of air traffic control workers.
This is an issue that has no short-term solution. They're talking about training and investments in technology, but as you know those things take years to roll out.
