Many flights have been delayed at the busy hub because of radar outages, shortages of air traffic controllers and construction on a runway.

The Federal Aviation Administration is working on a short-term fix to the problems at the Newark airport that includes technical repairs and cutting flights to keep traffic manageable while dealing with a shortage of controllers. Officials are meeting with all the airlines that fly out of Newark starting Wednesday to discuss the plan.

The Biden administration is to blame for the ongoing air traffic control failures at New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport, and throughout the system, Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Monday.

Billy Nolen, former acting FAA administrator, joins CNBC's 'Money Movers' to discuss expectations for Newark Airport in the wake of outages, whether investigations into airports may increase, and more.

At times Monday evening, as few as three air traffic controllers per hour were lined up to monitor via radar the planes flying into and out of the airport, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
