The FAA will allow airlines to reduce more New York flights – without penalties – due to the ongoing shortage of air traffic controllers.
The agency will let airlines limit New York flights until October 28.
Airlines impacted include Delta, American Airlines, United and JetBlue at New York JFK, LaGuardia and Newark Liberty airports.
The waiver also affects some flights at Washington, DC airports.
The FAA says the air traffic control workforce is down by about 50% of required numbers.
