Newark Near-Collision Prompts Landing Changes, FAA says
This article is for subscribers only.
Arrivals on one of Newark Liberty International Airport’s runways are being restricted after an incident last month in which two planes came within hundreds of feet of colliding.
The limitations on landings on the westbound runway may worsen delays at what is already the most congested airport in the U.S., according to Bureau of Transportation Statistics data. The move may also compound bottlenecks stemming from a project to resurface one of the airport’s three runways.
