Flights to Newark
EWR · Newark Liberty International Airport
Newark Liberty International sits 25km southwest of Manhattan in New Jersey and serves the New York metro area alongside JFK and LaGuardia. United Airlines historically ran the only direct JNB–EWR flight (a 16-hour ultra-long-haul), though schedules have shifted in recent years — most current routings go via Addis Ababa, Doha or Dubai. For South Africans it is the gateway to New York City and the wider US east coast; for American visitors it is the most direct point of departure to South Africa when available.
