Regulators eased a cap on flights at Newark Liberty International Airport, allowing carriers to apply for new service for the first time since heavy delays forced the U.S. government to limit operations there in 2008.

The Federal Aviation Administration will consider allowing additional flights at the New Jersey airport as long as they don’t exceed capacity, according to an order posted online Friday.
