The FAA moves, which also affect Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington, were made due to shortages of aircraft controllers. Newark Airport, while it does serve the New York market, is not part of the summer changes.
To meet the FAA's requirements, a number of airlines have slashed their flights out of New York and Washington, Travel Weekly reported:



  • Delta: Cut 1,983 flights between New York and Washington.


  • American Airlines: Cut 4,790 flights to or from JFK, LaGuardia and Reagan National, as well as Newark Liberty International Airport, from its May 1 to Sept. 30 schedule.
  • United Airlines: Cut 4,353 flights between New York and Washington.
  • JetBlue: Cut 3,565 flights at the affected airports.
  • Southwest Airlines has not made any cuts to its schedule, but it could cut some flights later.
