The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announced a record-breaking year in 2023, with its three major airports—Newark Liberty International, John F. Kennedy International, and LaGuardia—welcoming a total of 144 million passengers. This figure surpassed pre-pandemic highs, with a 3% increase over the previous record set in 2019.
The surge in demand followed extensive redevelopment work on all three airports, transforming facilities into award-winning, world-class terminals.
Newark recorded the most significant jump with 49.1 million passengers, LaGuardia reached 32.4 million, and JFK saw 62.5 million passengers.
The Port Authority’s $30 billion redevelopment initiatives continue to enhance airport infrastructure and capacity across New York and New Jersey.
