How far is it from Belfast to Newark?
The great-circle distance between Belfast International Airport (BFS) and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) is 5,099 km (3,168 mi, 2,753 nautical miles). That is the straight-line distance; a real flight is a little longer because of air-traffic routing.
How long is the flight from BFS to EWR?
A nonstop flight typically takes about 6h 50m. This is an estimate from the distance; actual block times depend on the aircraft, winds and the exact routing. EWR is roughly west of BFS.
How is the BFS to EWR route written in code?
The pair is written BFS-EWR in IATA codes and EGAA-KEWR in ICAO codes, the form used on a flight plan. Belfast International Airport is BFS (EGAA), Newark Liberty International Airport is EWR (KEWR).
| BFS | EWR | |
|---|---|---|
| Airport | Belfast International Airport | Newark Liberty International Airport |
| ICAO code | EGAA | KEWR |
| Country | United Kingdom | United States |
| Elevation | 268 ft | 18 ft |
| Rank by connections | #410 | #45 |
EGAA starts with E, the ICAO prefix for northern Europe; KEWR starts with K, the prefix for the contiguous United States. How ICAO prefixes are laid out.
EWR sits 250 ft (76 m) lower than BFS, which is a real difference in air density on takeoff.
