Another day, and more delays at Newark International Airport.
An air traffic controller shortage is causing delays at Newark Airport for a second straight day. Shannon Sohn has more from NewsCopter 7.For a second straight day, an air traffic controller shortage caused backups at the New Jersey airport.More air traffic controllers were found to staff the Newark sector, so the ground delay that was expected to go into effect at 5 p.m., was lifted.
The FAA wants to relocate the controllers who handle New Jersey airspace to a similar facility in Philadelphia. The controllers do not want to move."The first tip is to travel early in the day. Take the first flight of the day if possible. That's because more than 60 percent of airline delays are caused by weather. In the summertime, that's mostly thunderstorms and those storms form later in the afternoon, generally speaking.
