FAA To Extend Newark Flight Operations Limit At 72 Per Hour Through Summer 2026

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing to extend flight restrictions at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) through the end of next summer amid ongoing air traffic control (ATC) shortages. This would see a maximum of 72 flight movements per hour at the New York-area airport for both the winter 2025 and summer 2026 seasons.
