Airlines will meet with the Federal Aviation Administration Wednesday to address weeks of delays at Newark Liberty International Airport following air traffic control staffing and equipment issues.

Many flights have been delayed at the busy hub because of radar outages, shortages of air traffic controllers and construction on a runway.

Officials are meeting with all the airlines that fly out of Newark starting Wednesday to discuss the plan.
