Newark flights are postponed to 2020 as they weren't able to get the time slot they want. If they agreed to have the slot that Port Authority NY & NJ gave passengers wouldn't be able to transfer to most United flights.

Their first priority is most likely connecting to TK flight banks at IST rather than UA banks at EWR.

They already fly to JFK. The prime reason for going to EWR has to be UA connections. Not saying IST connections aren't important, but feeding into UA's schedule has to be just as important.

They would resume flights to EWR, starting from 17 July 2019.

Yet, there has been no official announcement and EWR is not even recognized as a destination on turkishairlines.com.............. Normally this would be live at least 30 days before a route is launched.

A little bit of sophistry by TK or routesonline, or someone............I flew TK in October 1993, February or March 1994, and again another RT around then, and while they may have filed somewhere to be nonstop, I can assure you that they were still going via BRU on all of these flights!!!!

Will TK be operating out of Terminal B? I am arriving in Terminal A around 22:30 and the TK flight departs just after midnight. This is all on one ticket and the flights are in August (Aeroplan).

The United shuttle bus is probably not running at that time. Will I have enough time to hoof it over on foot as opposed to taking the Air Train? I will have TSA Pre-check and/or business class privileges.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

As far as it stands, TK would operate at Terminal B but we still don't have information whether they would use concourse B2 or B3. You should be fine, as 1h40min is high enough to make the transfer if you have a steady walking pace and if your previous flight arrives on time you would have time to walk as well. My recent security experience at Newark Terminal B after 22:30 ( late Feb 2020 ) was that the Priority lane was closed, no TSA PreCheck either, only one agent for document check and everyone would receive service within the normal security procedures, however, it was empty.

And, by the way, if you arrive with Air Canada, even if the shuttle was running, you wouldn't be able to use the shuttle as UA and AC operate at different concourses of Terminal A which are not connected within the secure area ( post-security ).
