The Federal Aviation Administration issued an interim order Tuesday limiting the number of incoming and departing flights at Newark Liberty International Airport, which has faced national scrutiny due to critical outages caused by staffing shortages and decades-old infrastructure.

The FAA announced that until construction on a new runway is completed, arrivals and departures will be capped at 28 each per hour. The number marks a 27% decrease from the total of 77 arriving and departing flights previously allowed per hour by the FAA. The changes come after airline leaders met with the FAA last week to discuss lowering the number of flights at Newark in an effort to address delays spurred by the outages.
