Duffy was accompanied by Chris Rocheleau, the Acting Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Sarah McKeon, the Port Authority Aviation Director, Scott Kirby, the CEO of United Airlines, and Congressman Tom Kean.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re celebrating the opening of Newark\u2019s runway, and this is a 60-day project that actually completed 13 days early,\u201d Duffy said during the conference. \u201cEveryone who touches the problem is giving their fullhearted effort.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rocheleau said the new runway is already being used for departures. He referred to the achievement as \u201ca big deal\u201d, adding that it is contributing to a \u201csafe and efficient operation\u201d at the airport.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rocheleau said the runway is currently operating with 28 arrivals and 28 departures at the airport. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would also say our next steps are to have our technical operations people go out and certify that new runway for arrivals\u201d Rocheleau explained. \u201cIt\u2019s going to take a little bit longer simply because we want to make sure that the equipment there is certified.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Once the runway is certified with a new arrival instrument landing system, the number will increase to 34 arrivals and departures. The FAA expects the runway to fully open sometime in the week of June 9, 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Port Authority is committed to ensuring that Newark is a world class airport,\u201d said Port Authority Aviation Director Sarah McKeon. \u201cThis is evidenced in part by our $3 billion investment in the Newark terminal A and our upcoming development and replacement of the Newark AirTrain system. Our top priority remains returning Newark to its full operational capacity.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On April 28, 2025, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aerotime.aero\/articles\/newark-flight-chaos-staffing-issues-philadelphia-atc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TRACON controllers lost access<\/a> to systems that help direct aircraft to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), leading to numerous flight cancellations and delays.
