A notice issued by the US Federal Aviation Administration shows that on Monday, flight operations at the three major airports in the New York metropolitan area were blocked due to a shortage of air traffic control personnel. The FAA said in a notice that it is expected that travel problems in the New York area will continue until evening. The agency temporarily suspended flights to John F. Kennedy International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport. It is expected that the relevant grounding measures will be lifted at 3:30 p.m. and 3:45 p.m. New York time, respectively. Earlier in the day, flights to LaGuardia Airport were also suspended. Flights to JFK were the worst delayed, with an average wait time of over two hours. The FAA said in a statement that the agency is limiting flight traffic to John F. Kennedy International Airport, LaGuardia Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport, and Philadelphia International Airport due to severe weather and shortage of manpower. The FAA has faced a shortage of air traffic controllers for a long time and has been taking steps to resolve it.
