NEWARK LIBERTY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TAKES MAJOR STEP TO PREPARE FOR AIR PASSENGER GROWTH

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Board of Commissioners has approved nearly $280 million to modernise Terminal B and related facilities at Newark Liberty International Airport. This program will enable the airport to accommodate a projected increase in air passengers within the next 15 years. Long-range forecasts indicate that air traffic will continue to grow at the airport and reach 45 million annual air passengers by 2021. The airport currently serves approximately 32 million annual passengers.

 Improvements will be made to provide for additional ticketing areas, expansion of the existing ticketing areas, passenger screening points and the construction of a new domestic baggage claim area, which will allow greater efficiency for the screening process and baggage handling. The Port Authority expects to begin the planning and design in 2005. Port Authority Chairman Anthony R. Coscia said: "Among the many things we have delivered to our customers are two new parking garages, AirTrain Newark, three enhanced and expanded terminals, new cargo facilities, roadway improvements that create better access for vehicles, and runway improvements that increase efficiency for aircraft. Thoughtful planning today will lead to great improvements tomorrow at Newark Liberty International Airport, enabling us to be prepared to meet projected passenger growth in the future."

Port Authority Executive Director Kenneth J. Ringler Jr. said: "This project will complement the $3.8 billion we have already invested in our airport redevelopment program to enhance and improve operations and services at Newark Liberty International Airport. Over the last 10 years, the Port Authority has invested approximately $15 billion at all of our airports in an effort to bring our customers the best in world-class service."
