New York Newark has been achieving weeks that have matched pre-pandemic movement levels, as operations from stakeholders ramp up.
Using data from RadarBox.com, the airport is bouncing in and out of pre-pandemic numbers, but a consistency level is forming.
Without further ado, let’s get into it…
Numbers From New York Newark Are Strengthening…
For August 8-15, New York Newark handled 1,250 movements, which is an increase of 10.62% based on a seven-day rolling average.
Whilst this is around 18 movements lower than the pre-pandemic era of 2019, the table below shows numbers are strengthening and bouncing in and out of that target:
| Date | 2019 Numbers | 2022 Numbers | 2023 Numbers | Percentage Difference (2023 vs. 2022) |
| July 11-18 | 1247 movements | 1187 movements | 1158 movements | -2.44% |
| July 18-25 | 1254 movements | 1203 movements | 1229 movements | +2.16% |
| July 25-August 1 | 1255 movements | 1171 movements | 1192 movements | +1.79% |
| August 1-8 | 1224 movements | 1173 movements | 1298 movements | +10.66% |
What we can see from the data is that New York Newark is edging in and out of that pre-pandemic target, with the pattern starting to show now that they are coming out of such woes on the movements front.
Looking ahead, all eyes will be on the airport to see how the rest of the year will go, with the expectation that movement numbers should begin to consistently exceed 2019’s levels.
But for now, let’s see whether anymore stakeholders increase services out of the airport, and whether this will contribute positively to future growth.
