FAA Data on November 9: Newark Liberty Departure Delays of 46 Minutes to One Hour and Rising, While Boston and JFK Stay at 15 Minutes or Less

According to Federal Aviation Administration airport conditions reported on the morning of Monday, November 9, Newark Liberty International Airport in Essex County, New Jersey, was running departure delays of roughly 46 minutes to one hour, with the trend still rising at the time of the FAA's latest update. The FAA attributed the disruption to staffing. Arrival delays at Newark were comparatively mild, at 15 minutes or less.

The New York area's other two major airports were running smoothly by comparison on Monday morning. Boston Logan International Airport in Massachusetts and John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City were both running with departure gate-hold and taxi delays of no more than 15 minutes, and arrival delays were similarly short.

Newark Liberty is a major United Airlines hub and a key gateway for the New York metropolitan area. FAA traffic-flow measures are adjusted through the day, and conditions at all three airports can change quickly. Monday morning's pattern at Newark, with disruption concentrated on departures rather than arrivals, pointed to pressure on aircraft trying to leave. The delays came against the backdrop of the continuing federal government shutdown, under which the FAA had previously ordered flight reductions at the nation's busiest airports.
