Terminal A at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) is now fully operational with the opening of the final five gates of the terminal alongside additional retail and dining outlets and the transfer of Delta Air Lines operations and Sky Club lounge from Terminal B.
The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey (PANYNJ), which operates EWR, said the new 1 million-square-foot, 33-gate facility showcases airy, light-filled concourses alongside state-of-the-art digital technology, modern passenger amenities, superior dining and retail options, and a public art program. It was also designed and constructed to the standards of LEED silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
“The full rebirth of Newark Liberty International Airport begins with this gleaming new terminal,” said Kevin O’Toole, PANYNJ chairman. “We are proud to welcome Delta Air Lines to its spectacular new home in Terminal A as we embark on a comprehensive reimagining for the entire airport.”
Delta Air Lines joins Air Canada, American Airlines, JetBlue, and United Airlines in the new Terminal A. In addition to relocating to Terminal A, Delta has opened a new 7,000-square-foot passenger lounge with a design inspired by the city’s natural landscape and industrial past. The new space seats more than 200 guests and includes elevated views of the terminal and airfield.
EWR’s privately financed Consolidated Rent-A-Car (ConRac) facility is expected to open later this year. The 2.7 million-square-foot facility will consolidate 10 rental car operations under one roof, allowing for a streamlined, simplified rental process.
