ABOUT NEWARK INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTNewark Liberty is located in Essex and Union Counties between the New Jersey Turnpike (accessible from Exits 13A and 14), U.S. Routes 1 & 9 and I-78. The airport is about 16 miles from midtown Manhattan.
It first opened October 1, 1928, and was the metropolitan region's first major airport. It was built by the City of Newark on 68 acres of marshland and quickly became the world's busiest commercial airport. During World War II, the airport was operated by the Army Air Corps. After the Port Authority assumed responsibility for its operation, the agency added an instrument runway, a terminal building, a control tower and an air cargo center. The Central Terminal Area was constructed and opened in 1973. Other construction during the early 1970s included the Port Authority Administration Building, the Central Heating and Refrigeration Plant, and taxiways and roadways. In 1989, a two-building maintenance complex opened.
The International Arrivals Facility opened in Terminal B in 1996, the Monorail (now AirTrain Newark) also began operation in 1996 and a 325-foot control tower was commissioned in 2003 - the fourth in the airport's history. Approximately 50 scheduled airlines operate out of Newark Liberty.
Construction of Terminal A began in October 1967, and it opened for operation in August 1973. With 27 gates, the terminal branches out into three circular satellite buildings, designed as A-1, A-2 and A-3. In Terminal B, Delta completed a $5.5 million modernization of its gate area shared with Northwest, and Northwest upgraded its boarding and baggage areas. At Terminal C, Continental's Global Gateway project includes the C3 concourse, which opened in December 2001. With an additional 600,000 square feet of space, the facility was converted into a three-level terminal with two levels for departures. |
