Officials said the there is a Traffic Management Program in effect causing delays of approximately 1 hour and 36 minutes. 

Additionally, weather conditions are impacting flight schedules. Departures from EWR to Toronto Pearson International Airport (CYYZ) are experiencing an average delay of 56 minutes due to snow and ice. 

As a result, general departure schedules may also be affected, so travelers should verify with their airline to determine whether their flights are impacted by these delays.
