The Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in Newark, New Jersey is located 15 miles away from Midtown Manhattan, and it is part of the larger Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the world's busiest airport system after London's. It includes the region's two other major international airports, John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and the LaGuardia Airport (LGA). Out of these three major airports in the New York metropolitan area, Newark Liberty was the first to be built. It opened its doors in 1928 and is now the tenth busiest airport in the country, as well as the fifth busiest international gateway into the U.S,
