So if you live in PA or the Gowdin State...I wouldn't bank on all those pandemic flights coming back as so many of us keep trying to talk into existence.
I think those cuts were part of the summer 10% reduction due to the ATC shortage. The NEA situation might actually cause EWR to grow a little (not like Covid). JetBlue will have a lot of extra airplanes (LGA slots going away) and they know they can do pretty well out of EWR. I wouldn’t be surprised to see EWR grow to 35-40 flights a day.
