Newark Liberty International Airport – Travel guide at Wikivoyage

Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR IATA) is west of New York City in Newark and Elizabeth, New Jersey. It is one of three major airports in the New York metropolitan area, along with John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport, both in Queens.Understand[edit]Newark opened in 1928 as the only airport in Metro New York, but became pretty deserted when LaGuardia Airport opened in Queens, New York. After World War II, commercial activity returned to the airport. Gradually, it grew to the massive international hub it is today. Before 9/11, the airport was called "Newark International Airport". The word "liberty" was added to the airport's name after 9/11 to honor the victims, as one of the four hijacked planes that day, United Airlines Flight 93, took off from this airport. Additionally, the word "liberty" is also a reference to the Statue of Liberty 7 miles (11.4 km) east of the airport.Visitor information[edit]Call ☏ +1-800-EWR-INFO (397-4636), +1 973 961-6000.Fligh...
