FAA To Move Air Traffic Control For Newark Airspace To Philadelphia To Alleviate Congestion
Relocating control of the Newark, New Jersey airspace is set to address current challenges with staffing and congested air traffic above New York City. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) noted this Wednesday that control of Newark airspace will be transferred to Philadelphia ahead of a record summer travel season.
Struggles around air traffic control staffing issues noted that the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) had signed a memorandum to allow relocation of control from Newark, which is currently controlled by the New York Terminal Radar Approach Control, to the Philadelphia Tower by this coming June.

I’m sure the FAA can find Didn’t Earn It (DEI) hires who can make it all work.
I fly every week or so for work. Something is happening in the airline world. Prices recently skyrocketed and flight schedules have been reduced. Something’s up.
