Travel issues intensified at airports across the United States on Nov. 2 with one of the nation’s largest airports experiencing serious staffing issues that were expected to cause a domino effect of problems across the New York City area.
Newark Liberty International Airport—located 16 miles outside of the New York City borough of Manhattan—had ground delays of more than 3 1/2 hours on Nov. 2 because of staffing shortages and warned that travel would get “worse” throughout the evening, according to an advisory on the Federal Aviation Administration’s website.
