  Travel woes at Newark Airport continued Monday after a weekend featuring another radar outage, a ground stop and dozens of flight cancellations and delays.

On a recent day, Newark Liberty International Airport experienced significant disruptions due to a combination of factors including thunderstorms and staffing shortages, leading to numerous flight delays and cancellations. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had to manage traffic flow into the airport, resulting in ground stops and delays that affected both departures and arrivals. Some passengers reported waiting for hours, with one traveler mentioning a delay of over six hours.

Airlines such as United and JetBlue were among those most affected, with passengers advised to check their flight status frequently and consider rebooking on later flights if possible.
