About Newark Liberty International Airport
Newark opened in 1928 as the only airport inMetro New York, but became pretty deserted when LaGuardia Airport opened inQueens, New York. After World War II, commercial activity returned to the airport. Gradually, it grew to the massive international hub it is today. Before 9/11, the airport was called "Newark International Airport". The word "liberty" was added to the airport's name after 9/11 to honor the victims, as one of the four hijacked planes that day, United Airlines Flight 93, took off from this airport. Additionally, the word "liberty" is also a reference to the Statue of Liberty 7 miles (11.4 km) east of the airport. Call☏+1-800-EWR-INFO (397-4636),+1 973 961-6000.
