Airline carriers and the United States government have agreed to limit the amount of peak-hour flights at New York City’s John F. Kennedy International and Newark Liberty International, two airports where extreme congestion has caused ripples of flight delays and cancellations across the country. At JFK, only “82 or 83” landings or takeoffs will be allowed per peak-hour, down from as many as 90 according to USA Today; the limit hasn’t been set for Newark. Both limits are expected to be finalized by the time the caps take effect on March 15, 2008.
