US aviation safety regulators proposed temporarily limiting flights at Newark airport to no more than 28 arrivals per hour to reduce delays after a pair of radar and radio outages fueled major disruptions in recent weeks.

In an effort to combat the congestion at the airport, the FAA has announced a plan to reduce the number of flights each day, a number that will gradually increase as the aiport proves that it can handle more capacity.

The FAA is holding a “delay reduction” meeting Wednesday, seeking to cap the total number of flights at the airport.
