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 Federal Aviation Administration has announced that the flight restrictions that have been in place at New Jersey's largest airport will remain in place into mid-June.

US aviation safety regulators will allow fewer flights at Newark airport after technology outages and a staffing crunch fueled a surge in delays and cancellations in recent weeks.
