On August 20, 2024, the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) announced that the submission deadline for S25 flight schedules at ORD, JFK, LAX, EWR, JFK, and SFO will be October 10, 2024. Therefore, all schedules should be submitted by the deadline to 7-AWA-slotadmin@faa.gov. Schedule information must include the marketing or operating carrier, flight number, scheduled time of operation, frequency, aircraft equipment, and effective dates. The FAA notes that schedule information may be subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”). Any information deemed by a carrier to be confidential should be clearly marked “PROPIN” (proprietary information). The FAA is limiting the maximum number of scheduled arrivals or departures respectively at EWR, to forty-one (41) in an hour and twenty-two (22) in a half-hour. However, the FAA will accept flights above these maximum limits if the carrier operated the same flight in S24. Lastly, the FAA made note of runway construction planned at EWR for 2025 and will evaluate the impact on EWR’s runway compacity and issue any scheduling relief as needed.
