Newark’s airport is getting a major makeover with a pair of new and enhanced terminals to bring the aging airport into the modern era.
As part of the plan, the current Terminal B will be replaced and Terminal C will be enhanced at the 96-year-old Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey shared with Travel + Leisure. In addition, Terminal A, which opened in January 2023, could also see further expansion.
“Newark Liberty Airport serves as the gateway for millions of passengers, offering them their first welcome to the great state of New Jersey,” the state’s Gov. Phil Murphy said in a statement shared with T+L. “The EWR Vision plan will solidify Newark Liberty’s status as a premier regional and international transportation hub. This transformation will not only enhance passenger service but also strengthen the airport’s role as a key economic driver for New Jersey and the surrounding region.”
The Port Authority said the revamped terminals will allow for continued passenger growth and leave room to expand further if needed. The agency said the glow-up is needed since much of Newark’s current infrastructure dates back to the 1970s.
In addition to new terminals, the plan calls for a more efficient taxiway network for aircraft, expanded frontage alongside terminals, and simplified AirTrain access.
Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton said in the statement the new plan “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.”
The project is expected to start with a two- to three-year planning process next year, according to the Port Authority.
Beyond the plan itself, Newark Airport has gotten a bit more luxurious thanks to aspects like a new Lufthansa Airlines lounge that recently opened in Terminal B complete with natural wood tones and calm lighting. The airport also offers a pre-security sensory room in its new Terminal A aimed at evoking a serene river scene.
Newark also isn’t alone when it comes to major transformations. An extensive project at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is also underway, which will eventually debut a brand-new Terminal 1, a new Terminal 6 (which will connect to Terminal 5), an expanded Terminal 4, and a revamped Terminal 8.

Back then, I said that the new seasonal route, which has been running since June 16 and will continue until October 23, 2024, was to revolutionize air travel between the North American continent and the largest island in the world. While true, this piece of news feels a lot less relevant since United’s recent big announcement: The airline will soon fly direct to Nuuk, Greenland, from one of the biggest air travel hub in the US.
