The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced a significant operational shift, moving Newark air traffic control responsibilities to Philadelphia. This decision aims to alleviate congestion at Newark Liberty International Airport, recognized as one of the busiest airports in the country. The move involves transferring several air traffic controllers who handle the Newark, NJ airspace to Philadelphia. Additionally, the Port Authority has approved a 'game-changing' airport link in Newark's South Ward, further enhancing the airport's infrastructure. The FAA cites addressing staffing issues as a key reason for the operational shift.
