The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has unveiled the EWR Vision Plan, a wide-ranging blueprint setting the course for Newark Liberty International Airport’s continued development over the coming decades to accommodate passenger growth with modern, world-class terminals. These will be on par with the Port Authority’s reconstruction of LaGuardia Airport, its $19 billion transformation at JFK International Airport, and Newark Liberty’s new Terminal A.
“A modern, efficient, world-class Newark Liberty Airport is more than just a dream,” said Port Authority Chairman Kevin O’Toole. “We now have an actionable path forward thanks to this comprehensive vision plan. As the blueprint shows, we’re ready to take a top-to-bottom look at everything from terminals to roadways to taxiways as we build EWR into a best-in-class global gateway and position it to continue serving as a vital economic engine for New Jersey and the region.”
The EWR Vision Plan charts a comprehensive reimagining of the airport, complete with modern terminals and infrastructure, a more intuitive roadway network, and a redesigned taxiway network to accommodate more aircraft and reduce delays. The blueprint enables the airport to handle future growth, while serving the evolving needs of passengers, airlines, and the surrounding community.
“Newark’s Terminal A is an extraordinary terminal built for modern air travel, and we are thrilled to release the EWR Vision Plan, which lays out a blueprint to transform the airport to accommodate future growth and provide a 21st century travel experience at all of Newark Liberty’s facilities,” said Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton. “We’re fortunate to build on many prior successes and lessons learned from the redevelopment of our other two major airports as we embark on this comprehensive reimagining of Newark Airport, prioritising efficiency, sustainability, and the modern, streamlined experience our customers expect.”
Jacquelene McCarthy, Port Authority Director of Aviation Redevelopment, added: “The Vision Plan provides a roadmap to reimagine Newark Liberty International Airport as a world-class facility. Our goal is to enhance passenger experiences, improve operational efficiency, and ensure that the airport reflects the culture and diversity of New Jersey.”
