Drone disrupts air traffic into Newark

A drone briefly disrupted air traffic Tuesday at Newark airport, one of New York’s three major hubs for air traffic, US officials said. There were no further drones sighted, and arrivals were allowed to resume after a short suspension, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman told AFP.

The FAA ordered a ground stop for other flights heading to Newark, however, until the “backlog” of arrivals landing at the airport were cleared.
