About the Internship
The Aviation Department operates Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) through its Operations Division in partnership with various Line Departments. EWR serves as an international gateway for both passengers and cargo with over 420,000 flight operations and 48 million travelers per year. The Aeronautical Operations Unit's primary focus is to ensure compliance with federal aviation regulations and to ensure employees, equipment and aircraft are operating safely and as efficiently as possible on the airfield. With ongoing construction to expand and enhance the airport, Aeronautical Operations works closely with Project Management, Construction Engineers, Federal partners, and airline stakeholders to ensure construction activities can occur concurrently and safely with normal airport operations. As a summer intern with the Aeronautical Operations Unit, you will gain an understanding of the FAA regulations an airport must operate under, the extent of stakeholder engagement to operate an airport safely and efficiently and develop critical thinking skills to coordinate scheduled maintenance/construction and address unplanned airfield conditions.
