New York/New Jersey<br />

Newark Liberty International Airport is the<br />

primary airport serving the US state of<br />

New Jersey.<br />

In 2016, the airport was the 15th<br />

busiest airport in the <strong>United</strong> States, and<br />

the 46th busiest airport in the world by<br />

passenger traffic.<br />

The airport is located 24 km southwest<br />

of New York City, and is a major airport<br />

serving both the New York, New Jersey,<br />

and Philadelphia metropolitan areas.<br />

The airport has broken ground on a<br />

USD $2.4 billion renovation of its main<br />

terminal that will increase capacity for<br />

passengers as well as adding new gates. The<br />

upgrade will also improve connectivity to car<br />

parking, pick up areas, and the AirTrain. The<br />

Port Authority has also approved funding for<br />

Phase 1 of the PATH Train extension to the<br />

airport which, upon completion, will greatly<br />

improve accessibility between Manhattan<br />

and the airport.<br />

Newark Liberty International Airport<br />

Station provides direct rail connections to<br />

New Jersey Transit’s Northeast Corridor<br />

Line, including regional transit hubs such as<br />

Newark Penn Station, Secaucus Junction,<br />

and New York Penn Station. New Jersey<br />

Transit buses operate northbound local<br />

service’s to Irvington, downtown Newark, and<br />

EWR<br />
