Wow, excellent video! Thank you so much. I’ve been flying out of EWR since 1963 and had 2 jobs there. One with Allied Aviation fueling aircraft for United Airlines and SAS and the other with United Airlines as a CDL driver for their catering operation. I loved working there and servicing the aircraft. And United’s free travel.
As someone who has lived near by and traveled through it frequently, terminals A and B are in desperate need of upgrades. Congestion is worst in A. B is ok during the day because the international flights arrive late. C is the nicest but also congested. While Newark is the lowest ranked, it has excellent mass transit connections being only a 35 minute train and monorail ride from the terminal to Penn Station in midtown compared to the convoluted bus and subway journeys from the same area to LGA or JFK.
I feel this renovation actually sets up for future expansion and reconfiguration of terminal B (which really isn't very efficient, especially for wide-body aircraft). Overall, it's a great move for the airport, it's quite crowded and a mess inside the terminals for today's traveling demand.
Totally agree. Right now B is used for international flights that are not United and it leaves a lot to be desired. Now with the new terminal 1, they might have a golden opportunity to remodel and reconfigure the current A and B together to make it a world class state of the art international gateway terminal
Thank you so much for this great detailed in depth situation at Newark Liberty International Airport. This new Terminal A is very much 21st century material. It is time that the Port Authority of NY & NJ uses eminent domain status from the rundown nearby toxic, dirty, grimey junkyards of containers, trucking industries, empty lots which were once factories and such in Newark bordering Elizabeth and build a new runway in addition to knocking down dilapidated Terminal B and making a new T-style terminal like Terminal A then followed by Terminal C. This will make a positive profound growth for the next 50 years in aviation for the airport and with all new now known modern conveniences and security for the grounds, the airport and all of its staff, the airlines and out of the grounds of the airport. New Jersey Turnpike, Garden State Parkway, US routes 1 & 9, I78, I80. It will be a win win situation and create a massive job growth in the decades to come.
Interesting video! It would be cool if you could make a video on Project Journey at National Airport/DCA (locals call it National). It consists of a new concourse which softly opened on April 20th, while it will officially open in the summer, and two new security checkpoints putting the National Hall behind security, opening in the fall. It is one of the largest investments at the airport in two decades. Other DC airports have less significant upgrades, Dulles/IAD is getting a Metro stop on the DC Metro Silver Line.
I did hear about this! Maybe I’ll look into it. My next video will be something other than an airport video though because I want to try and keep my content interesting.
@@jonesrmj Completely understand! The project will conclude in late summer/early fall so there are a few months if you ever consider discussing this in one of your videos!
About 30% sits in Elizabeth. Built by the City of Newark, the airport expanded southward after WW2 into Elizabeth. This airport has quite a history including Newark, NJ having the first commercial airport in the world.
Even if they still had the land it would be impossible to utilize that space that the AB brewery takes up since route 1-9 is there. Unless of course they were to put the highway in a tunnel
It’s crazy to think that, because up until it’s recent and current rebuild, LGA was considered a terrible airport, with closet sized concourses. As nice as it will be though, LaGuardia also suffers from congestion that will remain and has no room for expansion. It will also still have some of the shortest runways in the country
Took the first flight out of jfk on united... there was a celebration and they gave out candy and soda at the terminal. I didn't realize until I got to the terminal, they water saluted and everything. Flight was cool as it was a sunset flight to SF, it finally set over NV but started to set in like PA.
@@TysonIke they had considered removing the middle gate concourse of Terminal B, but they would lose a bunch of gates. Also considered moving the NJ Turnpike further East and taking land from the Port of Newark area, but too disruptive and expensive. As it is, there are parallel runways too close together for simultaneous landings so they use one for takeoffs and one for landings. Not Ideal, but that’s what you are working with. All these uses (runways, turnpikes, and Port of Newark are heavily used 24 hrs a day, and you can’t bring the entire region to a standstill for x years and spend a fortune in order to move a runway over 20 feet. Welcome to the urban broom closet!
Jeffrey Anderson terminals B and C have a bad design with the large parking lot in the middle. If a new terminal is built on the parking lot and the existing terminals are removed it could fix their issues.
Ron D the Marriot is old and for how many problems it could solve I think that they should demolish those structures. The Marriott also isn’t connected to the people mover.
As a flight attendant that entire airport needs a redo no just one terminal it makes no sense that I have to leave a secured area just to move terminals
Do you walk outside to stairs to enter or in a tube from terminal to aircraft? Would like to know, stairs could be an issue traveling with someone in my party.
This terminal in the video isn’t complete yet. Assuming that you are traveling out of one of the existing terminals, I think all the gates feature jetways except for the super small regional aircraft.
Boarding by stairs is super rare, especially in big American airports, even with the small regionals. It has to be a very unusual circumstance for a plane not to use an accessible gate. The ADA rules make the airlines make concessions for wheelchairs for any airplane.
It is a Good idea what do you need to add another runway but they don’t have no space cadet been over water to last impossible to build another runway hopefully they can figure out something I love going to Newark it’s a lot easier than going into jfk or LaGuardia most of the time
I've been through the new LaGuardia. Facilities are very good, but the walk to the gate is much longer. Does anyone have a sense of whether this will be true of the new Newark terminal A?
I lived in NJ all my life and I always found it convenient. Maybe not the nicest, but certainly nicer then what LaGuardia was with its shoebox sized terminals. And I always found JFKs mishmash of non uniform terminals to be confusing and hard to get around

Newark actually has a surprisingly large amount of land. However, the Port Authority leased out much of the land. After all, I need my Bud Lite!
damm, love them cold buds
Yeah I sure do need the worst beer ever made!
About 30% sits in Elizabeth. Built by the City of Newark, the airport expanded southward after WW2 into Elizabeth.

Among the three airports in NYC, JFK is the best talking about old, but LGA is the best in new class.
It’s crazy to think that, because up until it’s recent and current rebuild, LGA was considered a terrible airport, with closet sized concourses. As nice as it will be though, LaGuardia also suffers from congestion that will remain and has no room for expansion. It will also still have some of the shortest runways in the country
@@jamesvazquez2491 I meant it architecturally, and not operationally.

That’s cool!
New terminal looks very nice, but they really need a parallel runway, but have no place to put it.
Yep, agreed!
A parallel runway could get put in if the existing terminals were removed and replaced which probably should happen with how bad Terminal B is.

I agree.
The whole thing must be torn down and replaced with ONE new building!!
My mom used to sell flight insurance at the original Newark Airport in the 1950's ! :)
I’m so excited for Terminal 1 to open
I haven't seen Newark Liberty International Airport up close but I hope too get there soon God's Willing Awesome Video!!!!!
If they add space for more planes and passengers, but runways and taxi routes remain the same I thinks the congestion will be inevitable!!
Yeah agreed!
Thanks my friend you rock my home airport
No problem!

This terminal in the video isn’t complete yet. Assuming that you are traveling out of one of the existing terminals, I think all the gates feature jetways except for the super small regional aircraft.
Also, I’m not official airport staff or anything so I don’t really know, depends on your gate. I would call the airport.
@@jonesrmj Ok thanks, i will call them.

Yeah that’s true!
Is it possible to build up Stewart or Westchester County airport?
Nice Video heads up the river is pronounced Pa-Say-ick (at least that’s how the locals call it)
Thanks for the correction!
@@jonesrmj you’re welcome!
Great Video !
Thanks!
I've been through the new LaGuardia. Facilities are very good, but the walk to the gate is much longer. Does anyone have a sense of whether this will be true of the new Newark terminal A?
I don’t think it will be as long of a walk because landside and airside are much closer together in this terminal.
@@jonesrmj Thanks.
@@jonesrmj People like the old SLC. They say that the concourses are too much long, so new SLC needs many moving walkways then.
Who cares nobody will ever go out there!
Long live Newark
This airport (Newark airport) is my favorite airport it’s convenient and easy to get to
I lived in NJ all my life and I always found it convenient. Maybe not the nicest, but certainly nicer then what LaGuardia was with its shoebox sized terminals. And I always found JFKs mishmash of non uniform terminals to be confusing and hard to get around
Can you see Newark from Ny
Yes
Reminds me of the layout of the original Jacksonville terminal, but much larger in scale.
Nobody from New York City will ever go there!
