NEWARK, New Jersey -- Air traffic control problems continued at Newark Liberty International Airport on Sunday morning after an equipment issue prompted the Federal Aviation Administration to order a 45-minute ground stop at the New Jersey airport, officials said. The FAA said in a statement that a telecommunications issue at the Philadelphia TRACON (terminal radar approach control) Area C facility, which guides aircraft in and out of Newark, caused the agency to issue a ground stop.
