This weekend, control of the Newark-area airspace sector will be reassigned from New York’s Terminal Radar Approach Control (Tracon) to Philadelphia’s facility, a transition that will encompass not only Newark Liberty International Airport (KEWR) but Teterboro (KTEB), Morristown (KMMU), Caldwell (KCDW), and Linden (KLDJ) airports. As a result, area designation will change from New York Approach to Newark Approach, while the switch in ATC communications should be seamless for operators. The FAA claims the move will help alleviate short staffing at the New York Tracon in Westbury, New York.
