FAA halts flights at JFK, Newark Airports after earthquake

The US Federal Aviation Administration issued a ground stop at New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport after a 4.8 magnitude earthquake shook buildings throughout the region.

Air traffic may be impacted in New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia and Baltimore, the agency said in a post on social media platform X. 

“Air traffic operations are resuming as quickly as possible,” the FAA said in the post.

The move by the FAA came after an earthquake rattled northern New Jersey on Friday morning, shaking buildings offices in Manhattan and was felt on Long Island and in New York’s Hudson Valley.
