  • Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy plans to reduce the number of flights in and out of the Newark Liberty International Airport for the "next several weeks," as New Jersey's largest airport struggles with radar outages and numerous flight delays and cancellations due to a shortage of air traffic controllers.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has announced plans to reduce flight capacity at Newark Liberty International Airport by up to 10% during peak hours to address chronic delays and improve overall efficiency. This decision comes after months of discussions with airlines and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the airport. The reduction aims to alleviate congestion and enhance the passenger experience by allowing for more reliable flight schedules. Duffy emphasized that the move is part of a broader strategy to modernize the nation's air traffic control system and improve infrastructure at key airports. The changes are expected to be implemented gradually over the next year, with close monitoring to assess their impact on operations and passenger satisfaction.
