Flights at New Jersey's Newark Liberty International
Airport will be limited to an hourly average of 83 arrivals and departures
during peak hours, the Department of Transportation announced yesterday.
The cap
on flights will begin in early May, and would be followed by a DOT auction of
slots "as capacity at Newark grows," it said. The DOT said such
an auction approach "encourages competition, allows new entrants and
responds to customer demand," but slot auctions have drawn strong criticism
from airline and some travel association executives who believe the move will
lead to higher airfares. The DOT did not offer a specific timeframe for
such an auction.
The limit will last for two years, and the DOT said it would allow 30 more
flights per day than last summer. It will follow the limits put in place for New
York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, which will go into effect on March
30. "We have an obligation to travelers to do everything in our power
to prevent a repeat of the horrors they experienced last summer," U.S.
Transportation Secretary Mary Peters said in a prepared statement. "Delays
in New York are a regional problem, not just a single airport problem."
