History

Opened in 1928 as the first major airport in the New York metro area, predating both LaGuardia (1939) and Idlewild/JFK (1948). Renamed Newark Liberty after September 11 in tribute to the World Trade Center workers and rescue personnel from northern New Jersey. United Airlines' main east-coast international gateway, inherited and expanded from Continental Airlines in the 2010 merger.

More about this airport

About this profile

Reference data (codes, coordinates, elevation, runways, owner, opening date) is curated from each airport's official authority page, the FAA's airport reference system for US airports, NAV CANADA and Transport Canada for Canadian airports, and AFAC and the operating concessionaire for Mexican airports. Latest passenger figures are CY 2023 totals where confidently sourced.

Live METAR and TAF are fetched from NOAA's Aviation Weather Center on each page load. NOTAMs (US airports) are fetched from the FAA NOTAM Search. If a source is unreachable when this page loads, the corresponding section displays an "unavailable" message rather than a blank or stale value.

This data is re-verified on a recurring monthly cadence aligned to the FAA's NASR 28-day cycle.
