Newark's Airport Chaos Frustrates Carriers, Worries Travelers

8 hours ago 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.” New Jersey’s largest airport has struggled with radar outages and numerous flight delays and cancellations due to a shortage of air traffic controllers. The latest problem was Sunday when a telecommunications issue briefly slowed traffic. Duffy said on NBC's “Meet the Press” that he will convene a meeting with airlines flying out of Newark to determine the reduction in traffic. He said there will be a larger reduction in the afternoons when international arrivals make the airport busier.
