💨 Abstract

The FAA has extended flight restrictions at Newark Liberty International Airport into June, limiting arrivals and departures to 28 per hour due to recent technical issues and staffing shortages. These problems, including radar and communication failures, have led to significant delays and cancellations. The FAA is implementing temporary fixes, such as software updates and new fiber optic lines, while planning a longer-term radar system upgrade.
