FAA to restrict Newark flights through December following outage turmoil
- The FAA began limiting arrivals and departures at Newark Liberty International Airport in May 2025 following equipment outages and staffing shortages.
- These restrictions stem from air traffic control equipment failures, a staffing crisis, and ongoing runway construction that caused widespread travel delays.
- To enhance operations, the FAA is temporarily implementing a redundant system at the Philadelphia TRACON, increasing air traffic controller staffing through incentives, and installing additional Tower Simulation Systems nationwide in May.
- The FAA announced that flight limits at Newark will remain in place through the end of 2025, with a maximum of 34 arrivals and departures per hour until October 25, and a reduced cap of 28 per hour on certain weekends after that, aiming to ensure safe operations while reducing significant flight delays.
- These measures aim to sustain safety and reduce delays amid high demand at Newark, the New York metropolitan area’s second-busiest airport, while technological and staffing improvements proceed.
