What changed
The FAA imposed a thunderstorm-related ground stop for flights arriving at Newark Liberty International Airport on November 6, with the published restriction scheduled from 13:21 UTC to 14:45 UTC. The restriction covers designated US departure facilities and six Canadian airports.
Does this affect me?
Passengers booked on flights arriving at Newark from the FAA-designated US departure facilities and from Halifax, Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto Pearson, Toronto Billy Bishop or Quebec City. Affected aircraft may be held at their departure airports. The FAA advisory projected an average delay of 42 minutes and a maximum of 78 minutes.
What should I do?
Check your airline's latest departure clearance and flight status before traveling to the airport, particularly if departing from one of the included Canadian airports. Review connecting itineraries for possible knock-on delays. The scheduled 14:45 UTC restriction ending is not confirmation that unrestricted operations have resumed.
