Newark Liberty International
🇺🇸 Newark · KEWR
United's NYC hub infamous among pilots for ground delays and complex taxiways threading between the terminals. The parallel runways frequently operate in challenging wind conditions, and the proximity to JFK and LGA creates intricate airspace coordination. Bad weather here ripples delays across the entire NAS, making it one of the most challenging operational environments.
