Newark Airport Was Among ‘Worst In America For Delays’ Last Summer. These New Upgrades Will Help, Feds Say

Newark Airport, which earned a reputation as one of the worst in the country for delays last summer, just got a new surface movement radar system to replace its 30-year-old equipment. Federal officials say the upgrade, part of a broader $30 million infrastructure push, will help air traffic controllers track planes and ground vehicles even in poor visibility, with more improvements like electronic flight strips and new long-range radar still on the way.
