For some travelers, New Market Liberty International Airport has become the flight ban.
With passengers of reports on reports of the loss of air traffic monitors loss on radio and radar with aircraft and dismay from the resulting flight delays, the average daily number of travelers flying from Newark, New Jersey, has decreased by up to 20 % of the administration at this time through this time last year. NBC News.
Meanwhile, the Edidia Airport in New York witnessed a 16 % increase in the average daily number of travelers during the same period, from 36367 in 2024 to 42,037 this year, as data appears.
John F. Airport has achieved. Kennedy International from New York City, a slight increase in the average number of daily travelers, from 96392 in 2024 to 97,061 this year in the second week of May, according to data.
The Federal Aviation Administration predicts the high size of flights on the weekend of the weekend, about 54,000 flights on Thursday.
“We expect flight numbers to grow a week after a week throughout the summer, with peak at the end of July and six more than 54,000 flight days before the end of August,” the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. “Thursday will be the most crowded days of the week.”
But in Newark, FAA suggested reducing the number of expatriates and departures after the problems of air communications caused the loss of control units in the radio and radar with the aircraft they were guiding for 90 seconds on April 28.
There is “a structure for the number of flights that you can leave in the hour. We have a delayed flight schedule,” said Transport Minister Sean Duffy, Reuters I mentioned Tuesday. “You will see a discount.”
This reduction came through the road Temporary He said that this maximum hour will be 28 of the expatriates and 28 exit. The daily construction will end on June 15, but it will continue on Saturday until the end of the year.
Outside the construction period, 34 hours of expatriates and departures will be allowed until October 25.
“Our goal is to reduce the great inconvenience of the audience traveled from excessive flight delays due to construction, employment challenges, and recent equipment issues, which are exaggerated during their spread through the national airspace,” Chris Roshilo said in a statement.
The agency added that the limits of access and departure can be modified higher or less, depending on the circumstances.
Dofi said that the United Airlines, which has a center in Newark, will be the most affected. “They are the largest player in Newark,” he said.
United did not immediately respond to a request for comment. EArlier this monthI voluntarily cut 35 back and forth flights from Newark, Where, in addition to the lack of control units, construction of the runway contributed to delaying flight.
Since Duffy announced last week that FAA and the main airlines have been talking about reducing the number of flights inside and outside the Newark, the percentage of flying canceled significantly.
During most of the past week, the Newark share of the country’s cancellation of the country was hovering between 35 % and 60 %, according to Flightaware data. But Friday, the cancellation number was 15 %, and it decreased to 9 % on Saturday.
While Duffy said that no planes were in any danger of collision or collapse when the control units fell on April 28, many of the control units that operate on that day went on the shock leave, which reduces the already exhausted ranks of the controllers available to work on the crowded sky on New Jersey.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said that there are 38 credit units that serve Nark. Currently, there are only 22.
Accidents in the plague continue in the aging system. The Nark control units, which are already based in Philadelphia, lost radio frequencies with the aircraft they are guiding for two seconds at approximately 11:35 am on Monday.
No planes were at risk of collision, and the Federal Aviation Administration said it was fulfilling.
“It is absolutely safe to fly,” Nick Daniels, head of the National Air Force Watch Association, said on Tuesday in an interview.
But when asked if it is likely to be a summer of travel problems at New Arrek Airport, Daniels said he was “thinking that the focus should be on improvement soon” and that the shortage of air traffic monitors is a problem at the country level.
“We are now running a system of 10,800 American men and women working hard,” said Daniels. “But we must have 14,663 employees this particular system.”
He said that many controlled units operate within six days and transformations for 10 hours.
Daniels said: “The morale is now low when it deals with the pressure and scrutiny that occurs in the aviation system at the present time, with a decrease in employment in every facilities,” Daniels said.
Last month, Dofi said it is expected that the Federal Aviation Administration will achieve its goal of graduating 2000 new air traffic monitors this year, but warned that the chronic shortage of control units will take years to fix it.
But he also received a recovery from the two parties from the legislators who indicated that Snafu in April had long occurred after the Trump administration launched hundreds of FAA workers, including maintenance mechanics, aviation information employees and environmental protection specialists, in its efforts to reduce the federal government.
