Newark Liberty International Airport has successfully reopened one of its main runways, finishing construction 13 days ahead of schedule. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy held a news conference to celebrate this milestone, which is expected to significantly reduce the flight delays that have plagued the airport. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) anticipates an increase in flights as a result of the reopening, addressing ongoing challenges with air traffic control in the region. This early completion of the project comes as a relief for travelers and airlines alike, with United Airlines already implementing lower fares to attract passengers back to Newark. As the airport prepares for boosted operational capacity, questions remain about the overall effectiveness in alleviating delays in the busy travel season ahead.
