EWR

Newark Liberty International Airport

Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) serves as one of the primary gateways to the New York metropolitan area, connecting the Northeast Corridor to destinations across six continents. This metal print captures that density precisely — rendered from real ADS-B flight tracking data. Every flight path is colorized by altitude, and the palette is yours to choose.

This print visualizes all 2,134 flights recorded on March 21–22, 2026 — the 24th anniversary of the airport's renaming to Newark Liberty International Airport. Printed direct-to-metal on an aluminum panel, it is a piece of aviation wall art that holds a specific moment in the life of one of America's most consequential airports.

Peak Hour Flights

This dataset covers two days of ADS-B traffic at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR/KEWR), spanning March 21 through March 22, 2026, the 24th anniversary of the airport's renaming. Over that period, 2,134 total flights were recorded, split nearly evenly between 1,057 arrivals and 1,054 departures, with 23 touch-and-go operations also logged. A total of 713 unique aircraft were tracked, drawn from registrations across 23 countries, with US-registered aircraft accounting for 618 of them. Canada contributed the next largest share at 34 aircraft, followed by smaller counts from the UK, France, Portugal, and others. The dataset comprises over 1.65 million individual ADS-B position points. Traffic ran continuously across all 24 hours, with the overnight period (midnight through 6:00 EDT) averaging well below the daily mean of 44.5 flights per hour. Activity climbed sharply starting at 7:00, reached a secondary cluster through midday, and peaked at 18:00 EDT with 153 movements, 100 of which were departures. The 9:00 hour was the busiest for departures specifically, logging 86. Approach and departure tracks were dominated by the SSW quadrant in both directions, with SSW accounting for 193 approaches and 222 departures, followed by SW and W. Orlando (MCO) was the top route by combined movements with 71 flights, ahead of Atlanta (ATL) at 58 and Chicago O'Hare (ORD) at 49. Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Charlotte, Detroit, Miami, Boston, and Toronto rounded out the top ten. Average leg distance was 806.8 nautical miles, with the shortest tracked arrival covering just 10.8 nm from Linden Airport (LDJ). The longest was an arrival spanning 2,748.9 nm lasting 798 minutes, operated by Canadian-registered C-GVDP. The highest recorded altitude was 48,475 feet, reached by UK-registered VP-CUA on a departure. Cruise altitudes concentrated between 34,000 and 37,000 feet, with the 35,000 to 36,000 foot band logging the highest position count of any 1,000-foot range.

About the Airport

Newark Liberty International Airport traces its origins to 1928, when it opened as Newark Metropolitan Airport on marshland along Newark Bay in New Jersey. It was, for a time, the busiest airport in the United States. Commercial aviation's rapid postwar expansion eventually shifted dominance to Idlewild — now John F. Kennedy International — but EWR remained a critical node in the New York area's aviation infrastructure.

The airport sits roughly 15 miles southwest of Midtown Manhattan, straddling Newark and Elizabeth in Essex and Union counties. Its location gives it direct access to New Jersey's dense population corridor and, via rail, a one-seat ride to Penn Station New York. Three terminals serve the airport, with Terminal C long anchored by United Airlines, which operates EWR as a major hub for both domestic and transatlantic routes. The airport handles a significant volume of international traffic, with nonstop service to Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and Asia.

In March 2002, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey renamed the facility Newark Liberty International Airport, a change that tied the airport's identity to the broader national moment following September 11, 2001. EWR is one of 3 major commercial airports serving the New York area, alongside JFK and LaGuardia. That shared market creates some of the most complex airspace in the world, with arrival and departure corridors that must be carefully sequenced with neighboring facilities. The airport sits at just 18 feet above mean sea level, and its runway layout reflects decades of incremental development on reclaimed land — a geography that still shapes how traffic flows in and out today.
