Travelers are encouraged to verify how these delays could affect their flight schedules.

Although the technical issues have been resolved, some delays remained, with FAA officials attributing ongoing problems to staffing shortages in Philadelphia.

“The FAA is coordinating slower arrivals and departures at Newark Liberty International Airport following telecommunications and equipment problems at the Philadelphia TRACON, which manages aircraft movements to and from EWR. Both issues have been fixed, but staffing challenges at Philadelphia TRACON are still a concern,” the FAA stated.
