  • There has been an average of 34 arrival cancellations per day since mid-April at Newark, according to the FAA.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has called on United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby to address the significant flight disruptions at Newark Liberty International Airport, where United has a major hub. The disruptions, including numerous cancellations and delays, have been attributed to United's decision to cut flight capacity by 12% in August, a move that has drawn criticism from Buttigieg.
