Newark Airport restrictions extended by June: FAA

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Tuesday announced an expansion of the current flight sanctions at the Newark Liberty International Airport by June.Karb has been effective ever since air traffic controllers lost their radar and radio last month last month.The news agency AP said, “Our goal is to overcome adequate inconvenience to the people traveling delayed due to excessive flight delayed people, which grow with spreading through the national airspace system,” the news agency AP said.Under the interim rule, the number of arrival and departure in Newark Liberty is earned by 28 per hour. It corresponds to the boundaries imposed after about half a dozen air traffic controllers, which went to a 45-day “trauma holiday” after an outage in April.In mid -June, the border can be increased after the runway construction project is wrapped on a large scale, and the controllers on leave will be determined to return. Subsequently, according to the FAA, it can probably extend the cap to 34 arrival and 34 departures to an hour, which would bring it close to 38 or 39 flights, which usually used to descend every hour before problems.Meanwhile, the FAA announcement, after an outage in Newark, a day later, the fourth of the airport since the last week of April.On 28 April and 9 May, the controller at the Philadelphia ATC, which directs the aircraft inside and outside Newark, was unable to look or communicate around the airport for 90 seconds. This was because the main line that takes the radar signal down from another FAA feature in New York, failed, and the backup line did not work immediately.The lines, some of which were old copper wires, failed for the third time on 11 May, but the backup system worked and radar remained online. After the first outage, already the shorthand Philadelphia ATC lost five to seven controllers for the trauma holiday. Leaving Newarark, unable to handle all scheduled flights, causing hundreds of cancellation and delay.The FAA quickly limited the number of flights between 24 and 28 arrival and to ensure the same number of departure every hour that the remaining controllers could safely handle them. Officials have stated that problems affecting Newark are a “prominent example” why the entire air traffic control system needs to be overhala.Transport Secretary Sean Dafi announced a multivilian-dollar plan earlier this month to upgrade the US Aajing Air Traffic Control System. The House included temporarily $ 12.5 billion, trying to pass the Republican now, but the authorities have called the amount just a down payment on the overall plan.
