continue to limit flights in the New York City area into October without penalties that they would normally face for such reductions.
The FAA said, however, it will extend current easing of those rules through Oct. 28 because the staffing shortage is beyond the control of the airlines. The waivers were set to expire Sept. 15, after the peak summer travel season. “The relief provided by the FAA during the peak of the summer season has provided stability at the NYC area airports,” the FAA said. The agency said canceled flights at the three big New York City-area airports from May 15 through June 30 fell 40% from the same period last year.
The waiver of penalties also applies to some flights at Reagan Washington National Airport near Washington, D.C.
