WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Reports of drone sightings in northern New Jersey temporarily halted arrivals at Newark Liberty International Airport on Tuesday, but normal operations had since been resumed, officials said.
A spokesman from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) earlier said flights into Newark - the 11th busiest U.S. airport - were briefly suspended after two drones were seen flying at 3,500 feet over nearby Teterboro Airport, a small regional airport about 17 miles away that mostly handles corporate jets and private planes.
The federal agency said information about the drone sightings was turned over to law enforcement.
The FAA’s Air Traffic Control System Command Center briefly issued a ground stop at Newark citing “drone activity,” according to a document posted on its website.
