Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
It’s a massive United hub for New Jersey and New York, the biggest on the East Coast for the airline. has diverse traffic, and adds realism to long-haul operations.It would also make for a good introduction for Continental whose hub it was prior to the merger, plus could be an interesting introduction of mainline United blue tulip/battleship along with the blue rising to contrast to Continentals livery.
FedEx also has a huge hub there which would give a local cargo airline.
