Newark Airport handles more than 500 flight departures daily across all three terminals. A delay on your end or a last-minute gate change is all it takes to make you miss your flight. Here’s how to check your Newark Airport flight status, the list of airlines operating at EWR, and what to do if your flight is delayed or canceled.
How to track your EWR flight status
The easiest way to check your Newark Airport flight status is by entering your airline and flight number in the search bar above. If you don’t have the flight number handy, it is also possible to search by route, entering the departure and arrival cities along with the travel dates. The EWR flight status updates are in real time, so it is always best to check your flight status closer to your departure time, especially during adverse weather conditions.
What to do if your flight is delayed or canceled
If you notice a delay while checking the live flight status, ensure you check the new departure time before heading to EWR. You don’t have to sit at the gate for longer than required. If there’s a cancellation, contact your airline directly to rebook. You can do this quickly via the airline’s app rather than waiting in a long queue at the airport, especially during an extensive delay affecting many flights.
Why EWR flights get delayed
Newark Airport is one of the most delayed and disrupted major airports in the US. This isn't always due to the airlines operating from here. EWR shares some of the busiest, most congested airspace in the country with JFK and LGA airports. So, when air traffic control needs to space flights out cautiously, a delay at one of the New York-area airports often causes interruptions at other airports as well.
Also, there is a shortage of staff in the air traffic control facility at Newark Airport. This can slow down operations at the airport even on a clear day. Another major reason for the flight delays is the weather. The area is prone to summer thunderstorms, and a single storm can disrupt flight operations for an hour or more. In winter, runway operations are slowed down as runways are covered by snow and ice.
As EWR Airport is a major hub for United Airlines, a delay on one flight can trigger delays in other flights. For instance, if an arriving flight is late, the same aircraft's next departure gets delayed too. Though these are not in your control, we recommend that you add extra buffer time when driving to the airport during the summer or winter seasons. Also, it is best that you check the Newark Airport flight status even if you are flying out on a clear day. This helps you avoid unnecessary waiting time at EWR.
Airlines operating at Newark Airport
Around 38 airlines operate at EWR across all terminals. Since Newark Airport is a hub for United Airlines, it isn’t surprising that the airline has the largest flight operations from this airport, with Terminals A, B, and C serving it. Some domestic carriers use Terminal A, whereas most international flights operate from Terminal B. If you are unsure about which terminal your airline is using, check your boarding pass or airline confirmation. Whichever terminal you’re flying out from, ensure you check your EWR flight status, as EWR is one of the airports in the US with the most severe flight delays.
