- Stranded for 7 hours? United passengers complain about Newark tarmac delay
Passengers on multiple United Airlines flights at Newark Liberty International Airport were stranded on the tarmac for up to seven hours due to severe weather, leading to flight cancellations and complaints about inadequate communication and compensation. Federal regulations prohibit most U.S. airlines from keeping domestic flights on the tarmac for more than three hours without specific exceptions.
