MIA–EWR Quick Facts
Frequently Asked Questions
Miami to Newark: Southeast Florida's Link to New York's Third Airport
MIA–EWR connects Miami International, American Airlines' largest hub and a major gateway for Latin America and the Caribbean, with Newark Liberty, United's New York-area hub in New Jersey. United and American are the primary operators. Block time is 3 hours northbound. EWR serves as the most practical New York-area airport for passengers connecting into United's transatlantic network, with nonstop routes to Frankfurt, London, and other European cities departing from Terminal C. The route carries a mix of point-to-point Miami–New York area passengers and the large connecting traffic at both ends: Miami feeding Latin America and EWR feeding the United international long-haul network.
EWR's Hub Position and the Three-Airport New York Market
Newark Liberty handles United's primary New York transatlantic bank, giving EWR a different competitive character than LGA (domestic/slot-controlled) or JFK (multi-carrier international). For MIA passengers connecting to Europe, EWR–bound itineraries on United often provide more direct connection options than those involving JFK. Ground access from EWR via AirTrain to Newark Penn Station and NJ Transit to New York Penn Station takes 40–50 minutes and costs around $15, making it time-competitive with cab travel from JFK to Midtown. Miami International's North Terminal is one of the largest US airport hubs for Latin American carrier operations, meaning MIA–EWR carries significant connecting passenger flow from Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and Mexico arriving at MIA and transferring to EWR for onward US connections.
