Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) has formally opened the second phase of the $2.7 billion new Terminal A, adding seven additional gates and the first six of what will be a dozen new concession and retail offerings.
Terminal A initially opened earlier this year with 21 out of 33 gates in operation. In addition to the seven gates coming online this week, five gates will become operational over the next 60 days with the transition of Delta Air Lines from EWR Terminal B to the new Terminal A.
The new concessions offerings include Jersey Mike’s; Law Coffee, a Newark, N.J.-based coffee roaster; the Ink bookstore; Boardwalk; the contactless retailer Nonstop by Hudson, and an additional New Jersey Monthly location offering local goods in the Arrivals hall.
Once fully open, Terminal A will host a total of 55 food and retail options from locally owned and operated concessionaires from Newark, Elizabeth, and Jersey City, and regional, national and global brands.
“The opening of Terminal A at Newark Liberty is a historic project representing the agency’s largest ever single investment in New Jersey,” said Kevin O’Toole, chair of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. “These openings mark an exciting milestone in our vision of delivering state-of-the-art terminals at the airport.”
The new Terminal A features state-of-the-art digital technology, modern passenger amenities, and eventually will have three airline lounges from United Airlines, American Airlines and Delta Air Lines.
“The new Terminal A has been an amazing experience in collaboration with the industry leaders sharing the same common goal of meeting travel demand and providing a world-class travel experience to passengers flying out of Newark Liberty International Airport,” said Michael Kunz, CEO of Munich Airport NJ LLC, which operates Terminal A. “We are confident the addition of new gates, food and retail concessions are also poised for success as they prepare to serve a projected nearly 14 million passengers this year.”
