American Express has announced plans to expand its upcoming Centurion Lounge at Newark Liberty International Airport before its scheduled opening, according to Simple Flying. The financial services company will increase the size of the location by more than two thirds to over 30,000 square feet. Simple Flying and Moodie Davitt Report both report that the location is expected to open before 2027. [1][7]

The expanded facility will become the largest Centurion Lounge in the global network for American Express, according to Simple Flying. The announcement comes amid growing competition for premium airline passengers across major travel hubs. [1]

Moodie Davitt Report reports that American Express is also opening a second lounge location at London Heathrow Airport alongside the Newark project. Meanwhile, Luxury Travel Advisor and AFAR also reported that American Express has unveiled major updates regarding its lounge network and airport locations. [4][5][7]

The lounge expansion follows broader carrier investments in airport facilities. As FTMQ Travel reported earlier, American Airlines plans to open its largest Admirals Club lounge at Charlotte Douglas International Airport in 2028. [11]
