The airport has been beset by issues that haverve raised safety concerns.

From the US Federal Aviation Administration statement:

The FAA issued an interim order reducing the flight arrival and departure rate at Newark Liberty International Airport.

Under the interim order issued Tuesday, the maximum hourly rate will be:

• 28 arrivals and 28 departures until construction of Runway 4-Left/22-Right is complete. Daily construction will end on June 15, 2025, but will continue on Saturdays until the end of the year.
• Outside of the construction period, 34 arrivals and departures until Oct. 25, 2025.

“Our goal is to relieve the substantial inconvenience to the traveling public from excessive flight delays due to construction, staffing challenges, and recent equipment issues, which magnify as they spread through the National Airspace System,” said Acting FAA Administrator Chris Rocheleau.

The new limits take effect on May 20.
