Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) is drastically scaling back flights through late October due to persistent operational issues like radar blackouts and staffing shortages. The FAA's interim order limits arrivals and departures to 28 per hour during specific periods, increasing to 34 outside of peak times. This move aims to alleviate extensive flight delays and cancellations caused by construction, staffing struggles, and equipment problems. Major airlines were informed of the cuts that began on May 20, reflecting urgent measures to ensure safer and more reliable operations.
The FAA determines that this operation target would reduce overscheduling, flight delays, and cancellations to an acceptable level at EWR.
The issuing is intended to relieve the substantial inconvenience to the traveling public caused by excessive flight delays at the airport due to construction, staffing challenges, and recent equipment issues.
