Table of Contents
The Federal Aviation Administration has extended its order limiting scheduled flights at John F. Kennedy International Airport until October 28, 2028. This action keeps the current cap of 81 scheduled operations per hour in place during peak times.
Why it matters: This keeps flight capacity capped at JFK to prevent gridlock. It ensures airlines keep using their allocated timeslots rather than hoarding them. While it does not change daily travel for most passengers directly, it dictates which airlines can fly when and how many flights are allowed during busy periods.
