Newark Liberty Donates Gate A17 Sign to United Airlines Flight 93 Memorial

Newark Liberty International Airport has donated the original sign from Gate A17 to the United Airlines Flight 93 Memorial. This significant gesture honors the victims and heroes of the September 11, 2001, attacks.

The sign, which once marked the gate from which United Airlines Flight 93 departed, will now be a permanent fixture at the memorial located in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Flight 93 was one of the four planes hijacked on that tragic day, and its passengers and crew are credited with preventing the aircraft from reaching its intended target by fighting back against the hijackers.

The donation represents a poignant connection between the airport and the memorial, preserving a tangible piece of history associated with the flight. The ceremony for the donation is scheduled for September 19, 2025. This act underscores the ongoing commitment to remembrance and education about the events of 9/11.

The Gate A17 sign will join other artifacts and exhibits at the memorial, serving as a solemn reminder of the courage displayed by those aboard Flight 93 and the profound impact of the events of that day. The airport’s contribution is seen as a meaningful way to ensure the story of Flight 93 continues to be told and remembered for future generations.
