The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Friday afternoon announced delays at Newark International Airport (EWR) after its Traffic Management Program went into effect due to staffing.

The program is in effect for traffic arriving at Newark Airport, according to FAA officials.

Some arriving flights are delayed an average of over an hour and a half.

Travelers at a United Airlines Holdings Inc. check-in area in Terminal C of Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in Newark, New Jersey, US, on Tuesday, May 6, 2025. United Airlines Holdings Inc. will cut 35 daily round trips at Newark Liberty International Airport after Federal Aviation Administration technology failures and an air traffic controller shortage snarled flights for a full week.

Less than a month ago, the airport reopened one of its runways ahead of schedule, decreasing disruptions.

Runway 4L-22R, which was fully closed for about a month, reopened in May—with limited closures continuing on weeknights through December, and on weekends, September through December.

Two remaining runways, 4R-22L and 11-29, remain available for use throughout the closure periods, pending weather disruptions.
