United Airlines is working to overcome recent operational challenges at Newark Liberty International Airport. The airport, located in New Jersey, is a crucial hub for United, with 19,185 flights scheduled this May compared to fewer flights at other New York airports.
The airline faced significant disruptions due to an air traffic control outage that led to staff shortages and flight delays of up to four hours. As a result, United canceled dozens of flights but is now taking steps to recover.
Jon Gooda, United's VP of Airport Operations, explained that the decision to cancel 35 round-trip flights helped ease congestion and stabilize operations. He noted that the disruption was also influenced by ongoing runway construction work.
