Newark Airport

 

You've probably traveled into or out of Newark Airport, without knowing about its history? The Newark Liberty International Flight terminal first opened up on October 1st, 1928 under the name Newark Metropolitan Airport terminal.

 

It was developed on 68 acres of marshland and its first terminal, the Art Deco Administration Building, was constructed in 1934. For 11 years, Newark was the only airport terminal to serve the New York City location and also was considered the busiest commercial airport terminal worldwide-- that is, up until LaGuardia Airport opened in Queens in 1939.

 

As Soon As The second world war began, Newark Airport was taken control of by the Army for logistics procedures and was closed to business flights, which aided LaGuardia’s expansion and boost in popularity.

 

When Newark resumed service in 1946, the Port Authority of New York City and also New Jersey took control of it. The Port Authority promptly started making improvements to Newark by including an instrument runway, a 2nd terminal structure, a control tower, as well as an air freight facility. By the 1970s, roads, taxiways, and also a 3rd terminal was built.

On top of that, building on a 4th terminal began as well as the airport's name was changed to Newark International Airport. Expansion continued throughout the 1980s and 1990s and the flight terminal was fitted with a monorail system (which attached the Newark Airport terminal parking, its terminals, as well as car rental centers), an International Arrivals Facility, and a two-building maintenance facility.

Tragedy at Newark Airport

 

On September 11th, 2001, United Airlines Trip 93 left from Newark Airport bound for San Francisco when hijackers took control of the plane. Their planned target was believed to be Washington D.C. and the airplane's 40 passengers made a decision to attempt to restore control of the aircraft. It crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, tragically killing all 40 passengers and the 4 hijackers.

 

In 2002, Newark International Airport became Newark Liberty International Airport terminal to honor Flight 93 and to commemorate the Statue of Liberty, which is situated seven miles east of the flight terminal.

 

Today, Newark Airport is the third-largest center for United Airlines, handling more than 30 million passengers every year. Along With LaGuardia Flight Terminal and also John F. Kennedy Airport, Newark contributes to the largest flight terminal system in the United States and the largest worldwide when it comes to combined flight operations.
