Many others from around the world have touched down or will soon
land or take off now that the 20-month COVID-19-related ban
on international travel has finally been lifted.
International visitors have to show proof of vaccination and a
recent negative COVID-19 test. Exceptions include travelers under age 18 and
those traveling from countries with low vaccine availability.
The Port Authority says the reopening will make for full flights
and long lines at Newark Liberty International Airport. Airlines are especially
excited about the move, as many have struggled throughout the
pandemic and are slowly trying to get back to full speed both operationally
and financially.
