Drones Stop Approaches at Newark
A pair of drones were detected Tuesday night in the approach path for Newark Liberty Airport at 3,500 feet.

The FAA stopped all inbound flights to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) Runway 22R for 45 minutes at 5 p.m. local time today after two drones were spotted 17 miles away at approximately 3,500 feet between EWR and Teterboro Airport (TEB). That position and altitude put the drones directly in the approach path for arrivals at Newark.
