Event 200 1, 9 1 1 United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania from this airport. Later, to commemorate this event, the airport was renamed Newark Liberty International Airport. Locals are still used to calling the airport "Newark Airport" or "Newark". Newark Airport is managed by the Port Authority of new york and New Jersey as a whole. It also includes two other airports in the New York metropolitan area-JFK and LGA, and two other smaller airports-Teterboro Airport and Lower Manhattan Helicopter Airport. Newark Airport is the second transshipment hub of Continental Airlines and the largest airline operator in this field (currently using part of Terminal C and Terminal A). FedEx regards this airport as a cargo transshipment center, and United Airlines and UPS also regard Newark Airport as a small cargo hub. In 2005, Newark Airport handled about 33 million passengers. Add in 4100000 passengers at JFK International Airport and 26 million passengers in la guardia airport, and new york's airspace is the busiest in the United States. The historic Newark Airport is the first major airport in new york. Before June 1 928+1October1officially opened, it originally meant a swamp in New Jersey. In 1935, Amelia earhart contributed to the completion of Newark Airport Administration Building. This is the first commercial aviation terminal in North America. (The first commercial wharf in the world is Croydonaerodrome in the south of London, England, seven years earlier than Newark. Newark was the busiest airport in the world until la guardia airport opened at 1939. The opening ceremony in la guardia airport shared Newark's customers in new york and put Chicago's Midway International Airport on the leading position. During World War II, Newark was taken over by the US military, and its passenger and civil aviation services were suspended. From 65438 to 0948, the Airport Authority of New Zealand took over Newark Airport and invested a lot of money in infrastructure construction-developing new runways and hangars and redesigning the location of the terminal building. That year, passengers began to return. 1953, Beihang station replaced the former administrative building featuring decorative arts as the main terminal building, and was selected as a national historical site in the United States in 1979. In the 1970' s, Newark Airport was built in large quantities, and its scale was expanded, and it was renamed Newark International Airport. The terminals A, B and C used now were all built at that time. Although 1973 has opened Terminal A and Terminal B, passengers on international flights still need to go to Beihang Terminal for customs clearance. Although the main building of Terminal C was completed at the same time, the satellite building was reinforced. Until1mid-1980s, the project of Terminal C was in a state of suspension, and only then was it used as an international terminal. Terminal c was officially completed and put into use on 1988. But in the 1970s, the facilities expanded in Newark were not fully utilized. 198 1, people quickly reached a formal agreement with the airport management authorities to use Beihang building and set up offices. The company quickly grew into one of the largest aviation companies in the United States, and steadily increased the flights in Newark in the early 1980s. Virgin Atlantic also opened the London-Newark flight at that time, and Newark replaced Kennedy Airport as the international entry and exit gate of new york (although Virgin now flies more flights to Kennedy). 1987, the people were quickly merged by continental airlines, and now the destroyed Beihang building has entered history. However, Newark still maintains its position as a hub airport and becomes the headquarters of Continental Airlines. Until the opening of Terminal C in 1988, Continental Airlines used Terminal B to operate. Today, Continental Airlines takes the expanded Terminal C as its global route gateway and becomes the largest aviation service provider in new york metropolitan area. The expansion plan of Terminal C also includes three boarding corridors and brand-new border inspection facilities.

Two hours later, the passengers on board were on the way to stop the terrorist attack, and the plane unfortunately crashed in shanks, Pennsylvania. According to the flight route at that time and all kinds of information collected afterwards, most people think that terrorists may have attacked landmark buildings in Washington, DC, such as Capitol Hill and White House.
