The Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) recently announced temporary scheduling relief at Newark Liberty International Airport (“EWR”) during construction-related runway closures. While EWR does not have a formal slot usage requirement, the FAA manages airline schedules to reduce congestion among the New York area airports. Capacity at EWR will be diminished as construction projects are completed in various stages throughout 2025. The targeted schedule reductions apply to both weekend closures at EWR that will occur from March 1 to April 14, 2025, and September 1 to December 31, 2025, as well as daily closures from April 15 to June 15, 2025. The FAA envisions that scheduling relief will mitigate delays at EWR, optimize the efficient use of airport resources, and ease the impact on passengers during the upcoming construction projects.
