United Airlines sent MileagePlus members an email this evening with an interesting headline. It read: “Newark has the best on-time performance in the US.” After I checked the calendar to make sure that we did not warp to April 1st, I finished reading the note.
I wanted to provide an update on how our airline is operating and keep you informed about United’s summer schedule since you travel through Newark Liberty International Airport frequently.
With the second runway now open at Newark, our team is working around the clock and delivering the best on‑time performance among New York‑area airports, including John F. Kennedy International and LaGuardia. In fact, Newark is the most on‑time of the largest 15 airports in the U.S.*
Also, we just published our complete schedule through September 1 — check it out on united.com or the United® app. Whether you’re planning a trip or have one scheduled, you can confidently book with United because our schedule is set and our airline has never operated with greater efficiency.
And if you’re flying in United Polaris® business class from Newark, you’ll also get a chance to see our beautiful, newly expanded United Polaris lounge dining room coming soon to Terminal C.
Thank you for choosing to fly with us! I look forward to seeing you soon.
Sincerely,
Jon Gooda
Vice President of Airport Operations
Newark Liberty International Airport
United Airlines*According to A:14 on-time performance data from masFlight.”
Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) has had a rough go of it lately. Between runway construction that was fortunately completed early, a shortage of air traffic controllers, and tech glitches it has not been the airport to travel to, from, or through. The Federal Aviation Administration took note and issued an interim order that reduced the number of arriving and departing flights throughout the rest of the year.
Anthony’s Take: All of the above made the note pretty laughable. United has clearly taken a bookings hit around all of the bad press surrounding Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). While it’s good to see operations normalizing, it’s tough to swallow that the airport is the best for on-time flights.
