The Federal Aviation Administration said on Friday it is proposing to extend flight cuts at New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport through October 2026 as it continues to face air traffic controller shortage and congestion issues. In May, the FAA ordered flight cuts at Newark through the end of 2025 following a series of major disruptions at the United Airlines hub that snarled hundreds of flights and sparked alarm about the aging U.S. air traffic control system.
