Sean Duffy and FAA Deputy Administrator Discuss Newark Airport Upgrades and Air Traffic Control Challenges

Published | Video Starts at 19:40

We move later into the summer months. Are travelers being asked to take other airports besides Newark to try to lighten. Some of that load at Newark? That's a great question. So, no, The number of flights with the delayed reduction agreement that we got with the airlines at Newark is a flight capacity that the airport can handle with the number of controllers that we have. So what you were seeing before was a number of delays and cancellations. At 28 an hour, it's going to go to 34 an hour when the new Runway comes online. (19:40–19:54)
