About Newark Liberty International Airport

Newark shares the New York area's weather challenges including nor'easters and summer storms. Proximity to the coast adds sea breeze effects.

Is Newark Airport turbulent?

Newark faces the same weather challenges as the New York area airports: nor'easters in winter, summer thunderstorms, and the region's notorious air traffic congestion. The airport's constrained runway configuration makes it particularly vulnerable to weather delays. Ground stops of 2-4 hours are common during summer storm season, and winter snow can bring extended closures.

  • December 2025 delays averaged 170 minutes during winter storm
  • Runway 4L-22R closure through mid-2025 reduces capacity further
  • Air traffic congestion compounds weather delays
Why is Newark so delay-prone?

Newark shares airspace with JFK and LaGuardia, creating one of the world's most congested traffic environments. When weather reduces capacity at any one airport, all three suffer. The compact runway layout limits how quickly Newark can recover from delays. Construction projects and occasional equipment issues add to the challenges.

When is the best time to fly from Newark?

Early morning departures (before 9 AM) beat the daily congestion buildup. September and October offer the calmest weather. Summer thunderstorm season (June-August) brings the highest delay risk, especially for afternoon flights. Winter nor'easters can close the airport for hours. Build extra connection time regardless of season.

Is turbulence at Newark dangerous?

No. Modern aircraft are designed to withstand forces far stronger than turbulence. While bumps can feel uncomfortable, they do not pose a safety risk. Pilots actively avoid rough air whenever possible. Learn more about turbulence

Best seats to reduce turbulence when flying from Newark?

Seats near the wings feel the least movement because they are closest to the aircraft's center of gravity. Seats at the back of the aircraft feel turbulence more strongly. Learn more about seat selection
