United Airlines opens new widebody hangar at Newark Liberty

Just weeks after opening its new Global Services reception lobby at Newark Liberty International Airport, United Airlines unveiled its latest investment in the New York area’s largest hub airport – a new widebody aircraft maintenance hangar. United invested $35m to construct the facility, which will help support the airline’s widebody aircraft, including the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Airbus A350-XWB, which United will begin flying in 2018. The hangar also expands United’s maintenance capability for widebodies by 33% at Newark Liberty.
