Newark International Airport

IATA: EWR, ICAO: KEWR, FAA LID: EWR

Newark International Airport, also known as Newark Liberty International Airport, has a rich history dating back to 1928 when it was first established as Newark Metropolitan Airport. Originally a small airfield serving as a hub for airmail services, the airport gradually expanded in the following years to become a major commercial airport. During World War II, the airport was used as a military base and played a critical role in the transportation of troops and supplies. In the 1950s, the airport underwent a major renovation, including the construction of a new terminal building, and was renamed Newark International Airport. Over the years, the airport has continued to grow and develop, becoming a major gateway to the New York City metropolitan area and handling millions of passengers and tons of cargo each year.
