Florida-based BurgerFi is opening this year inside the Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey.

"With travelers looking for a quick bite to eat before taking off to their destination, BurgerFi provides the ideal grab-and-go options," Ophir Sternberg, executive chairman of BurgerFi International Inc., which owns the brand, said in a company press release. "BurgerFi's flexible footprint model makes airport locations ideal for introducing the brand to a wider audience — particularly one that values convenience without sacrificing quality."

Newark Liberty International Airport hosts 1,200 flights a day and 50 flights per hour and along with sister airports, LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy International Airport, comprise the largest airport system in the United States, and the second-largest in the world based on passenger traffic and largest in terms of total flight operations.

"Master ConcessionAir is proud to partner with this well-recognized iconic brand, and not only meet, but exceed travelers' expectations at Newark Liberty International Airport," Peter Amaro, CEO of Master ConcessionAir, said in the release. "Our partnership with BurgerFi brings a unique opportunity to deliver high-quality 100% American Angus Beef Burgers with no steroids, antibiotics or additives."

BurgerFi is strengthening its presence in airports across the country, operating in Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, Buffalo Niagara International Airport, Jacksonville International Airport and Raleigh-Durham International Airport. Additional projected airport openings in 2023 include a second location in Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

"Exposure in airports substantially increases brand awareness with the thousands of travelers passing by the footprint daily," Steve Lieber, VP of franchise and business development at BurgerFi International Inc., said in the release. "BurgerFi gives travelers a better burger option and alleviates the stress of finding the right meal before a flight."
