The days leading up to Thanksgiving Day — and even the holiday itself — are among the top days for travel with roads, trains and airports seeing millions of passengers.
On what is expected to be the busiest air travel day of the Thanksgiving holiday period this year, the Federal Aviation Administration warned about a possible ground ground delay at Newark Liberty International Airport on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving.
The FAA’s airport status website listed a ground delay program at Newark Airport that into effect at 1 p.m. Thanksgiving Eve. The FAA’s advisory said it anticipated the average delay to last 95 minutes with the maximum delay lasting more than three hours.
By 4 p.m. Wednesday, nearly 300 flights arriving or departing from Newark had been delayed, according to FlightAware. To compare it to the New York City airports, there were just over 100 delays at JFK Airport, and about 50 delays at LaGuardia.
Even though Thanksgiving Eve is expected to be the busiest days at our nation’s airports, there are still travelers on Thanksgiving Day.
