A staffing shortage, runway construction and deferred maintenance to crucial air traffic technology have made Newark Airport a national laughingstock.

Travel woes continued Monday for flyers moving through Newark Liberty International Airport, with 160 cancellations and more than 360 delays reported as the hub grappled with a brief weather-induced ground stop and ongoing issues around staffing and equipment.

The FAA is working on a short-term fix to the problems at Newark Airport that includes technical repairs and cutting flights to keep traffic manageable while dealing with a shortage of controllers.

With summer travel season approaching, the crisis at the New Jersey airport could mean weeks, if not months, of misery for travelers.
