FAA Wants Fewer Newark Flights to Tame Airport Delays

## Summary

The FAA is planning to reduce flight schedules at Newark Liberty International Airport to cut down on delays during busy times. Airlines flying there, plus the airport operator, are invited to a meeting on May 14, 2025, and can send in their ideas by May 28. These changes aim to make flying smoother, but could mean fewer flights and impact airline plans and passengers.

## Abstract

FAA will conduct a meeting to discuss flight restrictions at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to reduce overscheduling and flight delays during peak hours of operation at that airport. This meeting is open to all scheduled air carriers, regardless of whether they currently provide scheduled service to EWR, and to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which is the airport operator of EWR. Registration in advance of the meeting is requested. In addition, FAA invites interested persons to submit written information on such schedule reductions. FAA plans to issue its decision on scheduling limitations in a final order.
