Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy plans to reduce flight capacity at Newark airport for the ‘next several weeks’

Quick Summary:

There has been an average of 34 arrival cancellations per day since mid-April at Newark, according to the FAA.

However, he says many air traffic controllers choose to retire after 25 years of service, which means many retire around the age of 50.“These are not overnight fixes,” Duffy said.“But as we go up — one, two years, older guys on the job, younger guys coming in, men and women — we can make up that 3,000-person difference.

Friday, similar to an April 28 incident.
