Newark Caps Through October 2027, Boston Logan Construction Disrupts Travel
The US aviation network is facing significant disruptions, with Newark Liberty International Airport’s FAA schedule limits extended through October 30, 2027, and Boston Logan International Airport experiencing 60-75 minute average delays due to EMAS runway construction. Miami International Airport is also operating on reduced capacity after a fatal Amazon cargo plane crash. The new DOT delay compensation rule has narrowed the circumstances under which airlines must provide duty of care for delays, but the April 2024 automatic cash refund rule for cancelled flights remains unchanged. According to Unknown Source, these developments are likely to impact air travel in the US for the remainder of 2026 and into 2027.
