Flights in and out of Newark Airport are experiencing some heavy delays this Monday afternoon, according to the FAA, y’all. The FAA said that there are some equipment issues at the FAA airspace operations center in Philadelphia, which is in charge of overseeing the airspace for Newark Liberty International Airport. Due to these problems, a ground stop has been put in place with limited departures and arrivals since 1:30 p.m. Flight activity is expected to pick up slowly, but we can definitely expect some significant delays, folks.
If you’re planning to head to the airport today, you better check with your airlines for the latest updates on your flight status, ya know? As of 3 p.m., there have been a total of 199 delays and 15 cancellations at the airport. And as of 3:20 p.m., the FAA is reporting departure delays averaging around two hours and on the rise, whoops.
It’s not really clear why these delays are happening, but it seems like the equipment issues at the FAA airspace operations center are causing some major problems for travelers. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like this is a pretty big deal for anyone trying to catch a flight in or out of Newark Airport today.
Overall, it looks like things are pretty chaotic at the airport right now, so if you have any travel plans in the near future, you might want to keep a close eye on the situation. And remember, patience is key when dealing with flight delays, folks. Stay calm, stay informed, and hopefully, you’ll be on your way to your destination soon enough.
