Airlines and US aviation officials plan to meet on further flight cutbacks at Newark airport following multiple breakdowns in radar systems, according to people familiar with the matter.
The plan currently under consideration would encourage carriers to voluntarily decrease the number of flights for a limited period at the transportation hub outside New York City, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations. The Department of Transportation is expected to schedule discussions with airline leaders in the coming weeks, one of the people said.
The urgency for such a meeting was underscored Friday by a second incident in which air traffic controllers guiding planes in and out of Newark Liberty International Airport briefly lost communications and radar displays. It follows a similar breakdown on April 28. Neither resulted in injuries or accidents.
