Newark Airport (EWR) flight status
Newark Liberty International Airport (IATA: EWR, ICAO: KEWR) registers in our records as a busy airport, and our own numbers back that up: across 30 days of measuring, we logged an average of 71.4 aircraft observations per day near the airport in Newark, United States. For the current flight status at Newark airport, the arrivals and departures pages linked above the radar on this page cover every arrival and departure in real time, and the radar itself shows the aircraft around EWR right now. This page adds the context around that live picture: how EWR's traffic behaves in our measurement, which airlines dominate it, and where to look nearby, as part of our airport coverage across the United States.
What our own reception measurement shows
The traffic picture on this page comes from our own reception measurement, summarized over a window of 30 days. In our records Newark Liberty is listed at coordinates 40.6894, -74.1705 and filed in the large size class, and the busy traffic level the measurement assigns to it matches that classification.
The same measurement shows when our Newark sample peaks. The busiest window fell between 00:00 and 02:00, and that number needs one caveat: our measuring clock runs in UTC, not in local Newark time. Read it as a pattern in our raw reception data rather than as advice about quiet or busy hours at the terminal.
United Airlines towers over our EWR sample
Two airlines appear in our 30-day Newark measurement, and the distance between them is striking. United Airlines accounted for 1,196 observations, many times the count of the other carrier in our sample. JetBlue followed with 97 observations over the same 30 days, a small share next to United but enough to make it the second name in our Newark data. Both airlines have their own page on Flightstatus24, which is usually the fastest route when you already know who operates your flight; the full Newark arrivals and departures pages, linked above the radar, remain the fallback for everything else.
Alternative airports near Newark
Three other airports in our data sit within 33 km of EWR. The nearest is Teterboro Airport at 20 km, followed by LaGuardia Airport at 27 km and John F. Kennedy International Airport at 33 km. Each has its own page here, so when your trip could route through more than one airport in the area, you can check Newark's status against any of its neighbors and see which one fits your plans. With Teterboro at 20 km and LaGuardia at 27 km, the two closest alternatives lie nearer to EWR than JFK does, which is worth knowing when a flight in the area is listed under a different airport than you expected.
