The FAA is holding a “delay reduction” meeting Wednesday, seeking to cap the total number of flights at the airport.

Moving air traffic controllers means retraining them on the quirks of a new facility, and the process can take years.

A staffing shortage, runway construction and deferred maintenance to crucial air traffic technology have made Newark Airport a national laughingstock.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy admitted he changed his wife’s flight from Newark to LaGuardia just hours after claiming the troubled New Jersey airport was safe for the public.

Duffy laid out an extensive plan to replace the nation’s outdated air traffic control system last week, including installing 4,600 new high-speed data connections and replacing 618 radars, but didn’t put a price tag on the plan other than to say it will cost billions.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy plans to reduce the number of flights in and out of Newark Liberty International Airport for the "next several weeks."

Staff shortages and equipment failures at Newark Liberty International Airport have raised safety concerns in recent weeks.

The Federal Aviation Administration is considering temporary flight reductions in and out of Newark Liberty International Airport, and it's launching a safety task force.
