US FAA to announce temporary flight cuts at Newark after airline meetings

WASHINGTON, May 16 (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation Administration said Friday it plans to announce proposed temporary cuts to flights at Newark after meetings with major U.S. airlines to address congestion impacts from runway construction, equipment and staffing issues.

The FAA held three days of one-on-one meetings with the airlines "to find a balance between reducing their operations at the airport and meeting the needs of each individual airline." The FAA plans to make a final determination on arrival rates on or after May 28.
