Tavsif:

Air traffic control staffing issues continued to cause major delays for passengers flying in and out of the busy Newark airport outside of New York City for an unprecedented sixth day in a row. The Federal Aviation Administration once again imposed delays Saturday for flights bound for Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey, citing staffing. For some arriving flights, delays averaged three hours and 32 minutes by early Saturday afternoon. On Friday, the FAA’s Ground Delay Program announced delays averaging more than two hours for flights heading to Newark.
