The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) held a ribbon cutting ceremony for the opening of the USD2.7 billion Terminal A at New York Newark Liberty International Airport on November 15, 2022. The $2.7 billion terminal, which will replace an outmoded Terminal A that first opened in 1973, features state-of-the-art passenger amenities, dazzling artwork, digital technology and dining and retail options provided by 60 regional, national and global brands, including six retailers from Newark, Elizabeth, and Jersey City. The terminal features approximately 1 million square feet of space and offers 33 gates to handle larger aircraft, as well as a modernised common-use check-in area, security and baggage claim areas expected to efficiently handle an estimated 13.6 million passengers a year. In addition to the new terminal, the $3.3 billion Newark Liberty redevelopment program also includes a $400 million integrated public parking garage with new centralised rental car facilities, and $175 million for south airfield paving. The facility is expected to generate over USD4.6 billion in regional economic activity, create more than 2500 jobs and provide over USD1.9 billion in wages.
