‘Chaos’ At NJ Airport After More Flight Delays (Here’s The Cause)

  • Newark Liberty International Airport experienced severe flight delays and cancellations on Friday and the following days, causing widespread disruption.
  • The delays stemmed from chronic air traffic controller understaffing, equipment failures, and ongoing runway rehabilitation that limited airport capacity.
  • Starting Saturday, United Airlines reduced its Newark operations by canceling 35 flights each day, citing repeated technology failures and FAA indications that the airport cannot accommodate its current flight schedule under existing conditions.
  • Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy acknowledged a significant shortage of air traffic controllers nationwide and introduced initiatives including bonuses and plans to upgrade aging equipment responsible for system outages.
  • These issues highlight the urgent need for staffing increases and infrastructure upgrades to restore efficient operations at one of the country’s busiest airports.
