Passenger statistics and history
In 2023, Newark Liberty handled 49.1 million passengers, its busiest year to date. Opened in 1928, it was the first commercial airport in the United States and the first major airport serving the New York area; today it is a United Airlines hub carrying around 63% of its passengers. Traffic figures move from year to year, so read that number as an indication of scale rather than a live count.
Getting to Newark Liberty International Airport
Newark Liberty International Airport lies about 5.1 km (3 mi) from central Newark, measured in a straight line. The AirTrain monorail links the terminals with NJ Transit trains to Newark Penn and New York Penn Station; Manhattan lies about 14 km (9 mi) to the east. Two evergreen tips regardless of how you travel: confirm your terminal before leaving, and if you are picking someone up, track the inbound flight on this site first: you want to arrive when the aircraft actually lands, not when it was scheduled to.
