Welcome to Newark Liberty

Newark Liberty International Airport (IATA: EWR, ICAO: KEWR, FAA LID: EWR), originally Newark Metropolitan Airport and later Newark International Airport, is an international airport straddling the boundary between the cities of Newark in Essex County and Elizabeth in Union County, New Jersey. Located about 4.5 miles (7.2 km) south of downtown Newark, it is a major gatew … read moreay to points in Europe, South America, Asia, and Oceania. It is jointly owned by the cities and leased to its operator, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. It is the second-busiest airport in the New York airport system, behind John F. Kennedy International Airport.

On August 3, 1927, Newark’s mayor, Thomas Raymond ordered plans for a new airport as people and organizations began calling for a new airport in the area of Newark. Construction began on April 1, 1928. The airport opened on October 1, 1928, as the Newark Metropolitan Airport. It was the first major airport to serve the New York metropolitan area and the first airport in the United States with a paved airstrip.

The nation’s first air traffic control tower and airport weather station opened at Newark in 1930 (following a flight that crashed outside of Kansas City, killing five people, including a U.S. senator), and it became the first airport to allow nighttime operations after installing runway lights in 1952. The Art Deco-style Newark Metropolitan Airport Administration Building, adorned with murals by Arshile Gorky, was built in 1934 and dedicated by Amelia Earhart in 1935. It served as the terminal and a control tower until the opening of the North Terminal in 1953. Construction of the Brewster Hangar began in 1937 and continued through 1938. This hangar was the most advanced of its time. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and is now a museum and Port Authority Police headquarters.

After the hijacking and crash of United Airlines Flight 93 in the September 11 attacks in 2001 while en route from Newark to San Francisco, the airport’s name was changed from Newark International Airport to Newark Liberty International Airport in 2002. This name was chosen over the initial proposal, Liberty International Airport at Newark, and pays tribute to the victims of the September 11 attacks and to the Statue of Liberty.

In 2016, the Port Authority approved and announced a redevelopment plan to replace Terminal A, set to fully open in 2022.

The busiest domestic routes from Newark include Orlando, Los Angeles, and San Francisco while most popular international destinations are London, Tel Aviv and Toronto. Main operators are United, JetBlue, Spirit Airlines, and American Airlines.

  1. I’ve been trying today this airport and after with this last version for some reason it ain’t working for me. Anyone else? (It just appears the default one and when I go to the add-on manager it appears it is inserted) (Also, I didn’t touch anything of the statics or that stuff, not sure if it may be that)

    1. Go into your MSFS main folder and delete your SceneryIndexes folder. Let MSFS rebuild the folder. That fixed it for me.

  2. Significant improvement from v1, I have a good rig (RTX4080, i9-13900k, 64gb RAM) before I had around 60fps and huge stutters which made the scenery unplayable, now I get 85fps and no more stutters! Thanks SP!!!

  3. Drzewiecki announced on their fb page that a new version v1.1 of KEWR Newark Liberty MSFS project has been released. That includes:

    -Custom lighting added to runways and holding points.
    -Dirt layer added on aprons.
    -Performance optimization – up to 30% higher FPS in some areas.
    -Options to turn off specific airport elements (f/e interiors) for even better FPS.

      1. Them and Inibuilds are a disaster in optimizations. They will never get it right. Why? Because they test their sceneries on spaceship PCs…

  4. Any reason why I have two spawn locations for each gate? Gate C113 doesn’t exist and in its place instead is C98…

  5. is anyone getting CTD when using this scenery ? beautiful since i live like 7 mins from kewr but it is hard on frames n i am getting CTD

  6. Drzewiecki KEWR is quite beautiful, with much better visuals compared to the the other KEWR product I really like the fact that on the blue jetways they included the logo:
    EWR, NEWARK LIBERTY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. But i wish the parking spots would be available for usage, when you actually disable the static aircrafts. This happens with RJAA and UUEE (i suppose with more of their products, but these are the ones i use from Drzewiecki). Also i think a bit more of optimization is needed, since imo it’s heavier than those 2 airports i mentioned earlier.

    1. I got i5 4690 @ 4ghz, 16GB Ram and a R9 380X 4GB card. Runs smooth so far. No other add ons in that area though. You should check the graphics settings for stuff you really don’t need to set high 😉

      1. You set your stuff on high and ultra if you got a 4080 or 4090. Otherwise you risk bottlenecking your CPU if you lowering settings unless of course one is running a mediocre 380x

    1. i am running a 13700k Pcores at 5.4 n Ecores at 4.4 with a RTX 4080 n the FPS are lower than other Kewr Scenery

  7. After bleaching my eyes with FAS’s KEWR, we finally have a KEWR that looks genuinely great!
    Thank you so much as always!

    1. The full version overlaps both port areas and several bridges. The airport compatible version only overlaps the bridges.
