Newark Airport opens new 1-million-square-foot terminal
Wednesday, October 10, 2018
NEWARK, New Jersey -- Newark Liberty International Airport's smallest and most antiquated terminal is getting a major upgrade.
A $2.7 billion project at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey-operated facility will build a new terminal to replace 45-year-old Terminal A.
Aviation and public officials held a groundbreaking at the site Wednesday.
The terminal was designed to handle nine million passengers per year and currently sees 11 million. That's about a quarter of the airport's total yearly traffic.
The new terminal will feature several additional gates.
It's expected to be fully opened by the end of 2022.
Similar large-scale redevelopment efforts are planned or underway at JFK and LaGuardia airports in New York City.
