Newark Liberty International Airport

Newark Liberty International Airport (KEWR) is a large airport in Newark, NJ. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KEWR or IATA code EWR. It sits in North America.

Newark Liberty International Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Private operators share airspace and ground infrastructure with airline movements, which can mean longer taxi times during scheduled banks and the need to book FBO ramp space ahead of major events.

The longest runway measures 11,000 ft (3,353 m), a ultra-long-range-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Gulfstream G650, Bombardier Global 7500, and Dassault Falcon 8X. In practice this transcontinental and transoceanic operations without performance penalties.

Newark Liberty International Airport sits near sea level at 18 ft.

Local operations run on America/New_York. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.

SkyAccess currently tracks 2 departing and 3 arriving private-jet legs at KEWR across the next six months of operator inventory. 4 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.
