The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is hosting a third day of discussions with airlines on Friday over efforts to reduce air traffic at New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport, according to officials.

Thursday was the second day of talks between major airlines and the nation’s regulatory body for air travel, which included four rounds of individual sit-downs with various companies to discuss specific times to cut flights at Newark.
