The federal government is reducing the number of flights during peak hours at New Jersey’s Newark Liberty Airport to ease delays in the New York City-area that routinely spread nationwide.
Newark will be limited to 83 flights per hour during peak periods, Department of Transportation Secretary Mary Peters said Monday.
That is the same cap that will start on Saturday at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, which is down from about 100 flights per hour that had been scheduled last summer. Similar flight caps already exist at New York’s LaGuardia Airport. The caps are a temporary solution to alleviate record-high delays.
