Largest In The Network: American Express Expands Newark Centurion Lounge Before 2027 Opening

American Express has announced a significant expansion of its planned Centurion Lounge at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). The updated plan increases the lounge size by more than two-thirds, bringing it to over 30,000 square feet.

The expanded facility will be a two-story space when it opens, and it is slated to become the largest Centurion Lounge in American Express’s global network. This designation would put it ahead of the current flagship location at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL).

The Newark lounge expansion has a timeline implication, with reports noting a delay relative to earlier expectations. The prior projection had the lounge opening in 2026, but updated announcements indicate a 2027 opening.

No additional details are provided about the layout, amenities, or exact opening date beyond the 2027 target. The article focuses on the scale of the expansion and its impact on the network’s ranking, without elaborating on specific features or potential service changes.
