The alternatives are LaGuardia Airport (LGA, 31 km), John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK, 36 km), Teterboro Airport (TEB, 24 km), Westchester County Airport (HPN, 62 km), Trenton Mercer Airport (TTN, 67 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Newark Liberty International Airport | EWR | 4 km (2 mi) | 11,000 ft | 18 ft |
| LaGuardia Airport | LGA | 31 km (19 mi) | 7,002 ft | 21 ft |
| John F. Kennedy International Airport | JFK | 36 km (22 mi) | 14,511 ft | 13 ft |

| Westchester County Airport (regional) | HPN | 62 km (39 mi) | 6,549 ft | 439 ft |
| Trenton Mercer Airport (regional) | TTN | 67 km (42 mi) | 6,006 ft | 213 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,000 ft, EWR can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 18 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
