The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced on Friday afternoon that delays at Newark International Airport (EWR) occurred after the implementation of its Traffic Management Program, which was put into place due to staffing issues.
The program is in effect for traffic arriving at Newark Airport, according to FAA officials.
Some arriving flights are delayed an average of over an hour and a half.
Travelers at a United Airlines Holdings Inc. check-in area in Terminal C of Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in Newark, New Jersey, US, on Tuesday, May 6, 2025. United Airlines Holdings Inc. will reduce 35 daily round trips at Newark Liberty International Airport following Federal Aviation Administration technology failures and a shortage of air traffic controllers, which disrupted flights for a full week.
Less than a month ago, the airport reopened one of its runways ahead of schedule, decreasing disruptions.
Runway 4L-22R, which had been completely closed for about a month, reopened in May. However, limited closures will continue on weeknights through December and on weekends from September through December.
Two remaining runways, 4R-22L and 11-29, remain available for use throughout the closure periods, pending weather disruptions.
