Delays persisted Saturday at Newark Liberty International Airport.There were at least 377 delays and 82 cancellations throughout the day, according to FlightAware. This comes a day after United Airlines announced it'd be cutting 35 flights per day from Newark due to persistent equipment and staffing issues.

Following a week of delays and cancellations at Newark Liberty International Airport due to FAA equipment issues and staffing shortages, the CEO of United Airlines said the company has no choice but to unilaterally cancel flights from its schedule.
