The Federal Aviation Administration said on Tuesday it would require flight cuts at Newark, one of the main airports serving New York City, after it met with U.S. airlines to address congestion issues following a series of major disruptions.

The FAA is capping arrivals at Newark Airport to 28 per hour starting October 2025 to ease congestion, improve efficiency, and support ongoing runway upgrades.

The regulator said the reductions were needed to help reduce delays stemming from staffing challenges, technology outages and construction.

The Department of Homeland Security said the 64 people who volunteered received $1,000 and a chance to return to the U.S. legally.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has conducted its first charter flight for migrants who agreed to “self-deport” after starting a program to give those voluntarily leaving the country a $1,000 stipend.

The Trump administration's first charter flight for dozens of "self-deporting" immigrants took off from Houston early Monday, part of a new program offering them a free trip back home and $1,000 — or else.
