The founder and president of the real SLX, Kenny Dichter, breaks down the impact on private aviation in the middle of chaos and airport prices as well as perspectives on industry.
The Federal Aviation Administration said it would continue to cap the number of flights in and outside the Newark Liberty international airport until the end of the year to ensure security and limit travel disturbances.
From Monday, arrivals and departures will be limited to 28 each hour during the construction of the airport on weekends between September and December 31, 2025. During the rest of the time, arrivals and departures will not exceed 34 each hour until October 25, according to the FAA.
The continuous reduction in arrival and departure flights until December “will maintain security while attenuating excessive flight delays at the airport due to the challenges of the endowment and equipment,” the FAA said in a Friday notice.

Newark in the field in the field Temporarily reduces operations to only one of the two parallel tracks. Although this project was completed last week, 14 days ahead of the calendar, the newly finished track is currently open only for departures. The FAA said that the flight teams must check that the track navigation aid are tested, calibrated and sure to use for arrivals, which is why the flight limits remain in place.
The FAA began to limit traffic in Newark, the second busiest airport in the New York metropolitan region, in May, after weeks of serious disruption of equipment failures, endowment shortages in terms of air traffic control and a construction during the track.
The breakdowns, which caused tens of travel delays, highlighted the immense pressure Persist staff shortages, Obsolete technology and underinvestment in critical infrastructure.

For Newark in particular, the government agency said that it also adds three new wide -band telecommunications connections between Hubs based in New York and Philadelphia Tracon, which guides planes inside and outside Newark, to increase speed, reliability and redundancy.
The FAA said that it temporarily deploys a backup system at the Philadelphia Tracon which will provide redundancy during the transition to a more reliable fiberoptic network. The government plans to replace telecommunications connections in copper with updated fiberoptic technology and establish a star center at the Philadelphia Tracon so that the installation does not depend on a telecommunications flow of the HUB of New York stars.

Stars is a FAA system that processes radar data for Newark and is based in New York. Telecommunications lines feed this New York data at the Philadelphia Tracon, where controllers manage the arrivals and departures of Newark.
He also seeks to increase controller staff. Duffy’s plan to mitigate the shortage of air traffic workers understands, offer retirees a bonus to encourage them to stay on the labor market longer.

In May, the FAA said that it installed more tour simulation systems across the country so that it can certify air controllers more quickly while reducing costs. These systems allow controllers to train for complex airport configurations, to develop scenarios that deal with safety trends, tracking coordination of track and rehearsal of the track and to repeat, according to the FAA.
