Authorities want to take what they did at Terminal A and replicate it with Terminal B -- which was built in 1973.
Thursday, October 17, 2024 5:14PMKemberly Richardson is live at Newark Liberty Airport with more on the plan.The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announced a major plan to modernize and improve Newark Liberty International Airport.
It's all part of a redevelopment blueprint to accommodate passenger growth with more modern terminals on par with the reconstruction of LaGuardia Airport, JFK International Airport and Newark's new Terminal A. In 2023, more than 49 million passengers traveled through the airport, but it faces many challenges. It is one of the most-delayed airports in the country, the road can be congested and tough to navigate, and moving through the terminals can be unpleasant with a lack of space and low ceilings.
"We learned a lot of lessons at LaGuardia, I would point out although everyone has that image planted in their mind, it happened at the beginning of the first summer and one thing you learn is you have to plan for the peaks, so I have no doubt that the lessons learned at LaGuardia and JFK will enable us to handle the construction process to manage the traffic and to avoid any passengers having to get out of their cars," said Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton.
