FWA-EWR Service Begins Sept. 7

Sept. 2, 2016

A new door will open at Fort Wayne International Airport (FWA) on Sept. 7. For the first time in FWA’s 75-year history passengers will walk down a jet bridge in Fort Wayne to board a plane and take their next steps at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR).

One of three airports to serve New York City and the surrounding areas, EWR offers unparalleled connectivity to the New York City metropolitan area, the East Coast and the world. Freeing northeast Indiana based passengers from the need for a layover, this flight adds efficiency to trips for both business and pleasure. The addition of this service gives time back to our travelers headed to the city that never sleeps.

As a community, Fort Wayne and Northeast Indiana have been seeking air service to the East Coast for years. United Airlines stepped up and brought service to New York City through the FWA to EWR route.
