The Federal Aviation Administration will meet with airline representatives Wednesday, seeking to cut flights going into and out of Newark Liberty International Airport amid mounting delays, hundreds of cancellations and growing frustration among passengers.

The FAA currently has 22 fully certified air traffic controllers and five supervisors assigned to Newark in the Philadelphia facility, but the agency wants to have 38 controllers there.

The Federal Aviation Administration is working to address the issues, but Kirby said in the email there are procedures in place to make sure flying is safe in the meantime.
