Ok I flew to Newark Airport EWR often the closest to go Manhattan NY, EWR is New Jersey, why is NewWark EWR is ALWAYS listed as NY when its not in NY? Its in NJ state! I know there is another newark upstate NY.EWR is NJ and I am baffled why its always listed as NY , is it because its close proximity to Manhattan? for tourist sake?
The airport is run by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and their offices are located in New York.Also, as you mention, the airport is near Manhattan--only fourteen miles away.
Its considered as an airport for NY. Because Manhattan has no airport and Queens has 2, but the one in Newark is closer.
