NEWARK, NJ — Parsons Corporation announces that the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has selected the joint venture team of Tutor Perini and O&G Industries, with Parsons as the lead designer, for the Newark AirTrain Replacement Program - Guideway and Stations project. The $1.18 billion project is a critical component of the modernization of Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and will replace the existing, aging AirTrain system with an automated people mover to better serve the airport’s growing passenger needs.
The new AirTrain system will enhance passenger experience and improve operational efficiency at one of the region’s busiest airports. The replacement system will improve reliability, offer modern amenities, and accommodate increasing passenger demand. As the lead designer, Parsons will be responsible for designing 2.5 miles of elevated guideway, along with three new stations — Station 1, Station 3, and the Rail Link Station.
“Parsons is proud to apply our deep aviation expertise to this large-scale infrastructure project,” said Mark Fialkowski, President of Infrastructure North America for Parsons. “The AirTrain is a natural extension of our work on the EWR Terminal A project and will provide a world-class transportation system to support the future of Newark Liberty International Airport.”
The award of the AirTrain contract marks a significant step in enhancing Newark Liberty International Airport’s connectivity, with Parsons playing a key role in the project. The new system will directly link Terminal A, which was also designed by Parsons in partnership with Tutor Perini. Parsons contributed significant design work to the airport’s broader transit network, addressing the long-standing need for direct access. The team provided key foundational work on the project.
