The Federal Aviation Administration said it plans to boost the number of flights at Newark Liberty International Airport next week after a runway reopened on Monday nearly two weeks ahead of schedule.
Acting FAA Administrator Chris Rocheleau said at a press conference at the airport that the runway is already being used for departing flights but that it will take until June 9 to certify it for arrivals before the rate can be increased to 34 arriving flights per hour from the present 28. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the airport should rise to 34 arriving flights per hour on June 10.
