Newark airport faced significant delays during Thanksgiving travel, with FAA warning of average 95-minute wait times.

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.

You’ve done everything by the book — got to the airport hours before departure, followed TSA guidelines about what can’t be put in carry bags, even remembered to wear slip-on shoes to make the getaway to the gate faster.

It is no secret the week of Thanksgiving is among the busiest for U.S. airports. The FAA said it is implementing measures to keep air traffic functioning, but such measures could delay flights.

The FAA is slowing air traffic into Newark Airport as a result of staffing shortages the day before the peak Thanksgiving travel begins, according to the FAA website. The ground delay program at Newark is in effect until 1 a.
