Major Airport Again Thrown Into Chaos by ‘Equipment Issues’

Newark Liberty International Airport was once again thrown into chaos after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grounded flights over “equipment issues.”

An unknown disruption caused air traffic control’s communication systems to go silent from approximately 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. EST, ABC News reported. In response, the FAA dramatically cut traffic arriving at the airport from the usual 40-42 flights per hour to 28.
