  • Dozens of flights were canceled on Tuesday, with delays on inbound flights averaging 161 minutes after air traffic controllers briefly lost contact with planes last week.

On January 11, 2024, Newark Liberty International Airport experienced significant flight delays and cancellations due to a power outage that affected Terminal C, leading to a temporary halt in security screenings and baggage handling. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported that the power issue caused a ground stop, which was lifted around 11 a.m. ET, but the ripple effect continued to impact flight schedules throughout the day. United Airlines, which operates primarily out of Terminal C, was the most affected, with passengers facing long lines and delays.
