July 2021
In most years, this introductory note to our annual traffic report takes an in-depth and laudatory look back at activity across our airport
system, usually noting all the records we set along the way. In fact, between 2010 and 2019 we had an unbroken string of record-setting
years with ever-increasing passenger numbers.
As 2020 began, it too was shaping up as another record year, with all-time highs in passenger totals in January and February.
But then the pandemic touched down.
What followed was unlike any year we and the global community had experienced in a century—when the last pandemic struck, in the
days when human flight was still in its infancy.
As a result, there won’t be record passenger and cargo numbers in this year’s report. The statistics you’ll find in the pages that follow
serve as stark testimony to the sharpest downturn our industry has ever experienced, one that wiped out decades of growth in a matter
of months. By year’s end, we lost an astounding 71 percent of passenger traffic—about 100 million forecasted passengers who never
materialized.
We weren’t alone. Activity at airports across the nation and around the world came to a near-standstill. But although 2020 was
heartbreaking and devastating in countless ways, we also accomplished a great deal in the face of so much adversity. As air travel
faltered, our employees worked tirelessly with countless stakeholders to respond to the pandemic. We went to work immediately to
ensure our airports offered the highest levels of hygiene and safety possible. Those efforts were independently verified as we received
certifications from the Global Biorisk Advisory Council and Airports Council International-North America—two leading authorities on
airport biohazard risks. And as we learned more about the virus, we stepped up our responses, creating touchless, seamless customer
experience improvements in security screening, concessions, gate holds and other areas that would await travelers when they returned.
And eventually, they did. Customers did not return in numbers to which we are accustomed, but they returned just the same, and by
year’s end, the recovery began to take shape. Our road back may ultimately be measured in years and not months, but we are steadily
recovering thanks to the herculean work of all our frontline employees, who gave so much to create this path forward. We take a
moment here to honor those individuals whose achievements cannot be measured in statistics, but rather in the realization that without
their courageous response, our ongoing recovery could not be taking place.
We also continued to advance the rebuild of our airport system with significant terminal, airfield and ground access improvements
being delivered regularly, and with much more to come. Our vision—to be a world-class operator of world-class airports—sharpens in
focus with every passing day.
As we publish our Annual Air Traffic Report for 2020, we are already months into 2021. Hopeful signs abound. The recovery continues.
Customers are returning to the skies.
We have faced these types of challenges before, following 9/11 and the Great Recession in 2008-2009. We know our airports have
shown remarkable resiliency before, and they will again.
The attached statistics are used by the Port Authority’s Aviation Department to better understand our airports and the aviation
industry, conduct analyses and assist in decision-making as we chart a course for our industry’s recovery. This report remains a
continuing reflection of the department’s desire to keep our stakeholders informed and reaffirms our commitment to achieving regional
prosperity through a unified system of airport facilities that offer safe and secure environments, excellent customer experience, and
environmentally sustainable and world-class services delivered by a world-class staff.

History
§ Construction for a new international airport began in 1942 under
a New York City contract on the site of the Idlewild Golf Course
in Queens, New York City.
§ The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey began operating
the soon-to-open airport on June 1, 1947, under a lease with the
City of New York.
§ On July 9, 1948, commercial flights began flying into and out of
the newly opened New York International Airport.
§ The airport was rededicated John F. Kennedy International
Airport on December 24, 1963, in memory of the nation’s 35th
president.
§ On February 7, 1964, the Beatles arrived for the first time in the
United States and entertained reporters and the public at a
press conference in the former International Arrivals Building.
Over the decades, the airport has been a gateway for numerous
presidents and dignitaries, including thousands who have arrived
throughout the years for the annual United Nations General
Assembly.
§ In 2000, JFK welcomed its one-billionth passenger.
§ In 2004, the Port Authority and the City of New York concluded
an agreement that ensures the agency’s continued operation of
JFK through 2050.
§ JFK made airport history on March 19, 2007, when the A380, the
world’s largest passenger aircraft, touched down on U.S. soil
for the first time in a route-proving test, and again on August 1,
2008, when an Emirates Airline A380 landed at JFK—the first
regularly scheduled arrival of the A380 in the United States.
§ In 2018, just five years after JFK surpassed 50 million annual
passengers for the first time in its history, it surpassed
60 million.
Size and Location
JFK covers 4,930 acres, including 880 acres in the Central
Terminal Area. The airport has more than 30 miles of roadway.
It is located on Jamaica Bay in the southeastern section of
Queens County, New York City, 15 miles by highway from midtown
Manhattan.
Aviation Role
JFK has been recognized for decades as the premier U.S.
gateway for passengers and cargo. JFK is the busiest airport in
the New York City metropolitan area, and among the busiest in
North America and the world. In 2019, the airport served a record
62.55 million passengers and handled more than 1.3 million tons
of cargo. The airport served about 34.3 million international
passengers in 2019, also an all-time record and more than any
other U.S. airport. In 2020 – a year that saw a sharp decline in
air travel worldwide due to the pandemic – JFK served more
than 16.6 million passengers and handled more than
1.15 million tons of cargo.
Employment and Economic Impact
About 41,000 people are employed at the airport. The airport
contributes more than $23.5 billion in economic activity to the
New York-New Jersey metropolitan region, supporting more than
125,000 total jobs and nearly $8 billion in annual wages.
Investment
The City of New York invested about $150 million in the original
construction of the airport. Since then, the Port Authority has
invested nearly $8.6 billion in JFK.
Redevelopment
Following New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s “Vision for JFK”
announcement in January 2017, the Port Authority began master
program and planning efforts to Transform JFK into a unified,
interconnected, world-class airport capable of accommodating
as many as 100 million annual passengers by 2050. Detailed
planning and analysis for roadways, utilities and parking
structures continues today. In late 2018, the Port Authority
announced that it would enter detailed negotiations with two
developer teams for separate new terminal development in
the south and northern zones of the airport’s Central Terminal
Area (CTA). These activities led a program-wide environmental
assessment, which was approved by the FAA in 2020 and will
allow for the major developments to be constructed. The current
timeline calls for the first new terminal gates to be available in
the mid-2020s and the first phase of the redevelopment program
to deliver the completed projects by the late 2020s. More
information is available at www.anewjfk.com.
Central Terminal Area
JFK has six airline terminals surrounded by a dual ring of
peripheral taxiways. The original CTA was enlarged from 655 to
880 acres by relocating taxiways to provide needed space for
expanding the passenger terminals. There are more than 125
aircraft gates serving the six terminals. The CTA also includes a
cogeneration plant that produces the power supply for JFK, and
the heating and air conditioning for the entire CTA.

John F. Kennedy International Airport
Terminals
§ Terminal 1: The Terminal One Group, a consortium of airlines –
Air France, Japan Airlines, Korean Air, and Lufthansa – built the
11-gate international Terminal 1 on the site of the old Eastern
Airlines Terminal. It opened in 1998.
§ Terminal 2: Delta Air Lines operates Terminal 2 and completed the
expansion of Terminal 4 during 2013. Delta vacated Terminal 3
when the newly expanded Terminal 4 opened in May 2013. After
50 years of service to JFK, Terminal 3 was demolished. Terminal 3
ramp is now used as an aircraft parking area for 15 planes.
§ Terminal 4: The 1.5-million-square-foot, common-use Terminal
4 opened in May 2001. Terminal 4 includes separate levels for
departures and arrivals, consolidated ticketing and baage
operations, improved customer facilities, duty-free retail shops,
and a wide variety of eateries. A Welcome Center opened in
2009. Delta Air Lines redeveloped a portion of the terminal by
adding nine new gates, and other enhancements and amenities,
which opened in 2013.
§ Terminal 5: JetBlue’s Terminal 5 opened in 2008. The Port
Authority provided nearly $800 million toward the jointly
financed, 26-gate, 635,000-square-foot terminal, which is
designed to handle up to 20 million passengers per year. In 2012,
JetBlue broke ground on T5i, a 145,000-square-foot expansion
to accommodate JetBlue international arrivals. The project was
completed at the end of 2014.
§ Terminal 7: A $251 million redevelopment project was completed
at British Airways’ Terminal 7. The project expanded and
reconfigured the terminal for greater efficiency. Improvements
included new ticketing and check-in areas, new retail outlets,
and a new depar ture and arrival roadway system.
§ Terminal 8: American Airlines’ $1.2 billion Transformation
of Terminal 8 opened in 2007 and serves domestic and
international passengers on three concourses. Terminal 8
includes expanded check-in areas, top name-brand shops and
eateries, and numerous services.
Roadway Access and Ground Transportation
A roadway configuration in the Central Terminal Area divides the
roadway network into five terminal areas so motorists can make
direct connections between terminals, parking lots, and airport
expressways. In addition to AirTrain JFK, the airport also is served
by taxis, airport coaches, and several car rental agencies.
Airtrain JFK
Opened in 2003, the light-rail system connects JFK with the
Long Island Rail Road and New York City subway and bus lines.
Recent improvements include digital signage, expanded closed-
circuit tele vision, upgraded access control security systems and
improved customer communications on-board and in stations.
Parking
JFK offers more than 15,000 public parking spaces and includes
five garages. E-ZPass Plus, which allows customers to use their
E-ZPass to pay for parking, is available in all parking lots and
garages, except for the overflow lot. Several customer incentives
and conveniences were implemented over the past six years.
A reservation system was introduced in 2011, and there are
seasonal promotions for discounted parking rates at certain
parking garages. These promotion rates are advertised on the Port
Authority website.
Cargo
JFK is one of the world’s leading international air cargo centers.
The airport offers nearly 4 million square feet of modern, state-
of-the-art cargo warehouse and office space. The entire air cargo
area is designated as a Foreign-Trade Zone. JFK serves the world’s
key air cargo markets through a strong mix of long-haul, direct
and nonstop all-cargo aircraft and wide- body passenger aircraft
flights.
Runways/Taxiways
§ JFK’s runway system consists of two pairs of parallel runways
(4L-22R, 4R-22L and 13L-31R, 13R-31L) aligned at right angles.
Total runway length is over nine miles.
§ Three of the airport’s runways are constructed in concrete.
§ All four of the airport’s runways are 200 feet wide to
accommodate Aircraft Design Group VI aircraft.
§ All runways have high-intensity runway edge lighting, centerline
and taxiway exit lighting, and are grooved to improve skid
resistance and minimize hydroplaning.
§ Taxiways total approximately 45 miles in length with widths
of 75 feet or 82 feet. There are shoulders and erosion control
pavements on each side of the taxiways. Other features
include the taxiway centerline light system and a sign system,
illuminated at night to provide directional information for taxiing
aircraft.
§ The Port Authority invested $200 million for taxiway and airside
rehabilitation to prepare for the A380 aircraft, and more than
$150 million was dedicated to fund technical and customer
service initiatives to combat airport delays.
§ Between 2010 and 2015, the Port Authority invested nearly
$600 million to completely reconstruct the two JFK’s departure
runways, 13R-31L (Bay Runway) and 4L-22R.

John F. Kennedy International Airport
§ Both runways were reconstructed in concrete and were widened
from a 150- to 200-foot width to accommodate operations of
Design Group VI Aircraft, increase operational efficiencies,
and enhance safety. The runways received new entrances for
departing aircraft and new high-speed exits for landing aircraft,
which enabled swifter departures and easier access from
runways to terminal gates, saving time on the ground for all
passengers at JFK.
§ In 2017, the Port Authority invested $106 million to rehabilitate
Runway 4R-22L, one of the two arrival runways at JFK. The
project provided for rehabilitation of the runway pavement,
replacement of electrical infrastructure, and realignment of
certain taxiways to allow for faster runway exiting after landing
and saving taxing time to terminal gates.
§ In 2019, the Port Authority completed a $355 million
rehabilitation of JFK other primary arrival runway, 13L-31R, which
included the addition of a high-speed taxiway, navigational aids,
new energy-efficient lighting, and widening to 200 feet. The
project used specialized concrete for long-term durability to
minimize future operational impacts.
Air Traffic Control Tower
The 321-foot air traffic control tower opened in 1994 and includes
communications, radar, and wind shear alert systems.
Hotel
The Port Authority completed $20 million in restoration and
preservation measures for JFK’s historic TWA Flight Center in
advance of an adaptive re-use redevelopment program, which
created hotel space and related services in the Central Terminal
Area. The 512-room TWA Hotel opened in May 2019.
Visit www.twahotel.com for more information.
In October 2018, Governor Cuomo announced a $13 billion investment to Transform JFK. The reimagined airport will be anchored by two
new world-class international terminal complexes on the airport’s north and south sides.

Newark Liberty International Airport
History
§ The metropolitan area’s first major airport, Newark Airport, was
built by the City of Newark on 68 acres of marshland. After
the airport’s opening on October 1, 1928, it quickly became the
world’s busiest commercial airport.
§ During World War II, the airport was operated by the Army Air
Corps.
§ After the Port Authority assumed responsibility for Newark
Airport’s operations on March 22, 1948, the agency added an
instrument runway, a passenger terminal, a control tower, and an
air cargo center.
§ The Central Terminal Area was constructed and opened in 1973.
Other construction during the early 1970s included the Port
Authority Administration Building, the Central Heating and
Refrigeration Plant, and taxiways and roadways.
§ In 1989, a two-building maintenance complex opened.
§ In 1996, the International Arrivals Facility opened in Terminal B,
and the automated monorail began operating between terminals
and parking lots.
§ Terminal C opened in 1988 as the hub of Continental Airlines,
and later underwent numerous upgrades.
§ In 2001, the monorail was extended to the Northeast Corridor
and renamed AirTrain Newark.
§ In 2002, the airport was renamed Newark Liberty International
Airport to memorialize all those who lost their lives on
September 11, 2001.
§ In 2019, the Port Authority and the City of Newark agreed to
extend the lease through 2075.
Size and Location
Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) occupies 2,027 acres,
including a 425-acre Central Terminal Area, at roughly sea-level
elevation. It is bordered by the New Jersey Turnpike, Interstate 78
and U.S. Routes 1-9 in the cities of Newark and Elizabeth, N.J. and
resides in both the counties of Essex and Union and the cities of
Newark and Elizabeth.
Aviation Role
EWR is among the busiest North American and international
airports. In 2019, EWR served more than 46 million passengers,
an all-time record. In 2020 – a year that saw a sharp decline in air
travel worldwide due to the pandemic – Newark served about 15.9
million passengers.
Employment And Economic Impact
About 22,000 people are employed at Newark Airport. The airport
contributes more than $14.5 billion in annual economic activity to
the New York-New Jersey metropolitan region, supporting more
than 74,000 total jobs and nearly $4.9 billion in annual wages.
Investment
The City of Newark spent more than $8.2 million on the
construction and development of Newark Airport, and the U.S.
government spent more than $15.1 million prior to 1948. Since
assuming the airport’s lease in 1948, the Port Authority has
invested nearly $7.4 billion at the airport.
Redevelopment
A $2.7 billion program is under way to replace Terminal A, provide
associated roadway and airside improvements, and a new parking
garage which includes both public parking and a consolidated
rental car (ConRac) facility. The program broke ground in 2017 with
construction of three bridges connecting the new Terminal A to
the roadway system. The new terminal is slated to have a partial
opening in mid-2022 with the full opening by the end of 2022.
ConRac will have a partial opening of public parking in late 2021
with a full opening in late 2022.
Central Terminal Area (CTA)
The 425-acre oval Central Terminal Area was built as part of a
large-scale airport redevelopment program in the 1960s and early
1970s. The CTA consists of three passenger terminals: A, B, and C,
and a first-class, ten-story, 585-room hotel with meeting rooms, a
fitness center, two restaurants and a bar.
Passenger Terminals
§ Construction of Terminal A began in October 1967, and the
facility opened in August 1973. With 25 gates, the terminal
branches out into three circular satellite buildings. The satellites
contain flight departure lounges, and airline and passenger
service facilities. The main terminal building measures
approximately 800 by 165 feet, and includes a Welcome Center.
A new terminal and related infrastructure is under construction
and will replace the existing terminal beginning in 2022.
§ Terminal B’s modernization expanded the two-level facility
into three levels. Highlights include inline baage screening
systems and passenger screening systems, a baage claim hall,
departure areas, ticket counters, additional passenger lounges
and concessions, and a Welcome Center. Terminal B has 15

international and 10 domestic gates. In 2019, the Port Authority
Board of Commissioners authorized $35 million for vision
and master planning initiatives that would allow for the future
replacement of Terminal B with a new world-class Terminal Two.
§ Terminal C opened in 1988. Continental Airlines’ Global Gateway
project in 2001 added 600,000 square feet of space and
turned the facility into a three-level terminal with two levels
for departures. The terminal has a total of 52 gates, a huge
retail and concessions space, and U.S. Customs facilities. The
state-of-the-art International Arrivals Facility, also completed by
Continental, added another 1,500-passengers-per-hour arrival
capacity to Newark Liberty. A Welcome Center also was added.
In 2010, Continental merged with United Airlines.
Roadways
To reduce congestion and improve airport access, roadways were
widened and reconfigured in the passenger terminal area and
airport entrances, giving vehicles the option to bypass terminals
and proceed directly to parking areas.
Airtrain Newark
AirTrain Newark, the airport’s automated monorail, opened for
service on-airport between terminals and parking lots in 1996. The
system was extended to a new station on the Northeast Corridor
Newark Liberty International Airport
Rail Line in 2001, providing passengers with connections to NJ
Transit and Amtrak trains for links between the airport and New
York City, Philadelphia, points across New Jersey, and beyond.
In October 2019, the Board provided a $2.05 billion authorization
to replace the existing rail system with a completely new AirTrain.
In May 2021, the Port Authority issued a Request for Proposals to
four teams that have been shortlisted to compete for a contract
to design, build, operate and maintain the new AirTrain. The four
teams were deemed qualified after a thorough technical review
of Statements of Qualifications that included financial capability,
past project experience and team approach and structure, and
approach to customer experience, among other factors.
Parking
The airport offers more than 13,100 parking spaces and features
a free 100-space Cell Phone Lot. In addition to two short-term
surface lots in the CTA (A and B) and a remote long-term parking
lot (P6), EWR has two parking garages: P4, a six-level facility at
the AirTrain Station that offers ten charging stations for electric
vehicles, and the C garage, which is located across from Terminal
C. All lots accept E-ZPass Plus, which allows customers to use
their E-ZPass to pay for parking, and customers can pre-book
parking using the online Parking Reservation System. Effective
June 1, 2021 all lots went to a cashless system.
Located in a new site on the airport property, the new Terminal One eventually will replace the existing Terminal A, the airport’s
oldest terminal.

Newark Liberty International Airport
Cargo
The airport is the overnight express package center for the NY/
NJ region, offering a full range of short-, medium-, and long-haul
services to domestic and international destinations. In 2010,
FedEx agreed to continue hub operations at Newark Liberty and
committed to a 20-year lease extension. FedEx installed a rooftop
solar electric system to provide more than 15 percent of the hub’s
energy needs. Newark Liberty handled about 825,000 tons of
cargo in 2019 and nearly 700,000 tons in 2020.
Runways and Taxiways
The airport has two parallel runways, 4R-22L and 4L-22R, which
support precision instrument approaches at all four ends, and
a crosswind runway, 11-29, which supports precision instrument
approaches only on Runway 11. Runway 4R-22L is 10,000 feet
long, Runway 4L-22R is 11,000 feet long, and Runway 11-29 is
6,726 feet long. All three runways are 150 feet wide. Both of the
parallel runways have displaced thresholds to reduce community
noise impacts. Visual aids include high-intensity edge lights, LED
centerline and touchdown zone lighting, and high-speed exit
taxiway centerline lighting. More than 12 miles of 75-foot-wide
taxiways link the three runways with the central terminal and
cargo areas. A $42 million rehabilitation of Runway 4R-22L was
completed in 2012, and a $97 million rehabilitation of Runway
4L-22R, including the construction of multi-entrance and cross
taxiways was completed in 2014. Runway 4R-22L changed its
approach lighting system to an ALSF-2, and additional high-
speeds P2 and P3 were completed in 2013. Runway 4R-22L
also was upgraded to a Cat III approach system allowing for
landings in poor weather conditions in 2013. The rehabilitation
of Runway 11-29 is expected to be completed in 2021 and cost
approximately $46 million. During the rehabilitation of Runway 11-
29, incandescent runway lighting was converted to LED lighting.
Port Authority Administration Building
Reconstruction of the airport’s original 1935 Central Terminal
Building, which is now a National Historic Landmark, was
completed in 2002. Now designated Building One, this
100,000-square-foot facility now serves as the Port Authority’s
Administration Building, hosting airport management, operations,
program management, the Port Authority Police Command,
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF), and an emergency
operations center (EOC).
Air Traffic Control Tower
A 325-foot air traffic control tower was commissioned in 2003, the
fourth in the airport’s history. The rooftop of Building One, the Port
Authority Administration Building, features what is believed to be
the first air traffic control tower ever built. The first air route traffic
control center was also established on the airport in 1935.

History
§ At the turn of the 20th century, the airport site, then commonly
known as North Beach, was occupied by the Gala Amusement Park.
§ In 1929, the 105-acre site was purchased by the Curtiss-Wright
Co. and developed into a private flying field. Originally called
the Glenn H. Curtiss Airport, it later became known as Curtiss-
Wright Field.
§ The City of New York purchased Curtiss-Wright Field in 1935 and
renamed it North Beach Airport. On September 9, 1937, ground
was broken for a new airport, which, on October 15, 1939, was
dedicated as New York City Municipal Airport.
§ Eighteen days later, on November 2, 1939, the airport was
renamed New York Municipal Airport-LaGuardia Field to honor
New York City’s Mayor, Fiorello LaGuardia.
§ On December 2, 1939, the airport opened to commercial traffic. It
soon became known simply as LaGuardia Airport.
§ The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey began operating
LaGuardia Airport in 1947.
Size and Location
LaGuardia Airport covers 680 acres. It borders Flushing and
Bowery bays in the northwestern section of Queens County, New
York City, about eight miles by highway from midtown Manhattan.
Aviation Role
LaGuardia Airport is one of the nation’s leading domestic
gateways for business and leisure travel, and is the primary
business/short-haul airport for New York City. LaGuardia Airport
which relative to its size has held the distinction of being the
most efficient airport in the world, handling more passengers per
acre per year than any other airport, served a record 31.1 million
passengers in 2019. In 2020 – a year that saw a sharp decline in
air travel worldwide due to the pandemic – LaGuardia served more
than 8.2 million passengers.
Employment and Economic Impact
LaGuardia Airport employs nearly 14,000 people, and plays a
critical role in addressing the region’s transportation needs, as
well as fueling the economy. The airport contributes $6.8 billion in
economic activity to the New York-New Jersey metropolitan region,
supporting nearly 38,000 total jobs and more than $2.3 billion in
annual wages.
Investment
Original construction by the City of New York cost $40 million.
The Port Authority’s total capital investment in the airport to date
is nearly $5.4 billion.
Redevelopment
Construction is well under way for the multibillion dollar
redevelopment of Terminal B and Terminal C, including related
airport infrastructure. A new electrical substation provides a more
reliable and robust source of power for the airport. Hangars 2 and
4 located just east of Terminal B were demolished in anticipation
of redevelopment construction. Additionally, parking lot P2 in front
of Terminal B was demolished to make way for the new Terminal
B head house, which opened in June 2020. In 2010, the Port
Authority completed the airport’s Police Crisis Command Center
and Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Facility and the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) began operating from a new
tower. In December 2018, a new Central Heating & Refrigeration
Plant (CHRP) located on the east side of the new Terminal B
Headhouse opened.
On December 1, 2018, the East Concourse of the new Terminal B
opened. The 250,000 square-foot, 18-gate, light-filled new concourse
is currently occupied by Air Canada, American Airlines, Southwest
Airlines and United Airlines. The opening of this concourse is part of
the $8 billion Transformation of LaGuardia Airport into a unified
21st century terminal system, providing a world-class passenger
experience and featuring modern customer amenities, state-of-
the-art architecture and more spacious gate areas.
Delta Air Lines is currently building a new Terminal C. The new
Terminal C and its four concourses, situated on the east side of
the airport, will provide almost 1.2 million square feet of space for
passengers. Designed for speed and efficiency, the new terminal
will allow customers to check-in and drop bags at every entrance
into the terminal before proceeding directly to the security
checkpoint. Dedicated check-in facilities will be available for
premium customers while the new Sky Club and outdoor Sky
Deck will feature expansive views of the airfield. Within its elegant
interior, passengers will have access to larger gate hold rooms
with more seating, in-seat power at all seats, as well as increased
circulation space for boarding the aircraft and transferring
between gates.
In November 2019, the easternmost concourse of the new
Terminal C opened to the public. It is approximately 105,000
square feet and features seven gates. Its floor-to-ceiling windows
provide astonishing views of Citi Field and Flushing Bay. The
concourse contains all the primary electrical and mechanical
equipment to serve the entirety of the new Terminal C inclusive of
electrical equipment, chillers, boilers, cooling towers and even an
ice-making and storage system sustainability initiative whereby
the new terminal’s chillers will run overnight when electrical
demand is low and then use the ice created overnight to cool the
building during peak daytime hours.

LaGuardia Airport
Passenger Terminals
§ Originally known as the Overseas Terminal, then the Marine
Air Terminal (MAT), Terminal A is the original airport terminal
building. It served international flights on flying boats through
the 1940s. General aviation also operates from the terminal
through a fixed-base operator. In 1995, the MAT was designated
an historic landmark. A $7 million restoration of the terminal
was completed in 2004. On December 9, 2017, JetBlue Airways
moved into Terminal A.
§ Dedicated on April 17, 1964, Terminal B serves Air Canada,
American Airlines, American Shuttle, Southwest Airlines and
United Airlines. It is operated by LaGuardia Gateway Partners
(LGP), a consortium company of airport experts. The 1964
version of Terminal B was 1,300 feet long and 180 feet wide, with
approximately 835,000 square feet of floor space. Originally
constructed at a cost of $36 million and then expanded and
modernized for $340 million in the 1990s, the terminal consisted
of a four-story central section with two three-story wings. LGP
is currently building the new Terminal B, which will increase the
terminal’s size from 835,000 square feet to 1,310,000 square
feet, and will be designed to accommodate 17.5 million people
annually, with 35 aircraft contact gates. The frontage will have
three levels as opposed to the current two, and one of the
levels will be for high-occupancy vehicles. The new terminal is
scheduled for completion in 2022.
§ Opened in September 1992 and costing $200 million, Terminal C
comprises approximately 300,000 square feet of space with 21
aircraft contact gates. Operated by Delta Air Lines, the terminal
features an innovative mix of food, retail, and concessions
integrated into the gate holdroom areas and a Welcome Center
on the arrivals level. Spirit Airlines (Departures) and Frontier
Airways (Departures) are now based in the terminal.
In 2017, Delta Air Lines started construction of a new Terminal
C that will replace the current Terminal C & D. The purpose of
the new Terminal C is to improve aircraft operations & reduce
delays to enable airlines to safely & effectively meet passenger
demand at acceptable levels of service. The terminal will have
improved passenger processing, concessions and retail options,
and sufficient electrical capacity to provide reliable service. The
terminal is scheduled for completion in 2026.
§ Terminal D, which consists of 10 gates, opened at the east end
of the airport in June 1983. It is operated by Delta Air Lines and
hosts Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines (Arrivals), Spirit Airlines
(Arrivals) and WestJet. In 2010, Delta enhanced and expanded
the terminal’s food, retail, and concessions options, and the Port
Authority opened a Welcome Center on the arrivals level. Delta
expanded its operations into Terminal C following its takeover of
the US Airways lease of Terminal C in 2011 and invested nearly
$100 million in its terminal complex to improve customer access,
speed baage handling, and improve the concessions and
customer service experience. In 2012, Delta opened a 600-foot-
long enclosed walkway connecting Terminals C and D.
AirTrain LaGuardia
The AirTrain LaGuardia project – currently in the environmental
review process – would allow for the first time a rail mass Transit
connection to the airport via a new station at Willets Point. It
would provide travelers with a 30-minute trip from midtown
Manhattan. In October 2019, the Board provided a $2.05 billion
authorization to develop AirTrain LGA, which would connect the
airport with a new station at Willets Point linked to enhanced Long
Island Rail Road service to and from New York City. Construction
of the AirTrain is dependent upon the FAA’s issuance of the
Record of Decision.
Parking
LaGuardia Airport offers about 3,900 public parking spaces with,
E-Z Pass Plus and Express Pay machines in all parking garages.
In 2018, a new 3,100-space Terminal B Parking Garage opened for
use. The seven-level garage connects directly with Terminal B. The
garage also is used to stage and pick up passengers using for-hire
vehicles from Terminal B. When the garage opened, the airport also
launched a first-of-its-kind parking pre-booking website that allows
customers to reserve a guaranteed, discounted garage parking space.
Runways
There are two main runways, 4-22 and 13-31. Each is 7,000 feet long
by 150 feet wide. In a $40 million project completed in 1967 by the
Port Authority, both runways were extended over the bays around
the airport to their present lengths. The runway extensions are
supported upon a 50-acre, L-shaped, pile-supported concrete deck
structure. All runways have high-intensity runway edge lighting,
centerline, and taxiway exit lighting and are grooved for added
traction during wet weather. Touchdown zone lighting was added on
Runway 13 in 2005 and on Runways 4 and 22 in 2009 as part of the
runway rehabilitation programs. As part of an FAA Runway Safety
Area project, two new Engineered Materials Arresting Systems
(EMAS) beds were installed on Runways 4 and 31 in 2015.
Air Traffic Control Tower
The Federal Aviation Administration commissioned a new 233-foot-
tall, state-of-the-art air traffic control tower in October 2010. The
new tower features the latest aviation technology, including a
system that tracks the surface movement of aircraft and vehicles,
enhancing safety and efficiency. The $100 million tower replaced
an iconic tower that had served the airport since 1964.

History
§ In 1930, Archie Stewart, an aviation buff and descendant of
prominent local dairy farmer Lachlan Stewart, along with his
uncle, Samuel Lachlan Stewart, donated 220 acres of land to the
City of Newburgh to be used as an airport.
§ In 1934, Douglas MacArthur proposed flight training for cadets,
and the City of Newburgh Transferred the land to the U.S.
government for $1. Construction began and a small dirt airstrip
was cleared and graded.
§ In 1939, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point built the first
airfield at Stewart for cadet aviation training. The north entrance
to the USMA was named after the old Stewart farm, “Stoney
Lonesome.”
§ In 1948, the airfield became Stewart Air Force Base.
§ In 1970, Stewart Airport was acquired by the State of New York.
Operating responsibility was later Transferred to the New York
State Department of Transportation (DOT).
§ In the 1980s, several business enterprises began operations
at Stewart after the DOT and Urban Development Corporation
began planning for the development of the airport.
§ In 1980, Runway 9-27 is expanded to nearly 12,000 feet in length,
allowing it to accommodate any large aircraft in the world.
§ In 1981, U.S. hostages held in Iran returned to the United States
via Stewart Airport.
§ In 1990, scheduled air carrier service began as American Airlines
offered the first commercial flights.
§ On March 31, 2000, Stewart Airport became the nation’s first
privatized commercial airport under a 99-year lease agreement
with National Express.
§ On November 1, 2007, the Port Authority purchased the
remaining 93 years of the operating lease for $78.5 million.
§ On June 15, 2017, the airport welcomed its first-ever scheduled
nonstop Transatlantic arrival: a Norwegian Air flight from
Edinburgh, Scotland.
§ On February 21, 2018, the Port Authority announced the airport
was being renamed New York Stewart International Airport as
part of an upgrade and modernization program. The new name
will make it significantly easier for travelers to identify the
airport’s geographical location,
Size and Location

Investment
A $100 million project that rehabilitated and modernized both
runways was completed in mid-2015, representing the largest
investment ever made in a single project in Stewart’s history. Since
the Port Authority took over Stewart Airport in November 2007, it
has invested more than $218 million to make improvements.
Redevelopment
In 1991, Stewart International became the first facility to receive
$5 million in funding under the Federal Aviation Administration’s
(FAA) Military Airport Program for capital improvements to airports
that were formerly military facilities or military/civil aircraft-use
facilities. That same year, the FAA awarded Stewart a $900,000
grant to fund a master plan update, conduct an environmental
review, and prepare a noise study. The airport also received $13
million in federal funding for infrastructure rehabilitation. In 1992,
the FAA awarded another $3 million for terminal expansion and
redesign. A 50,000-square-foot air cargo building opened in 1990.
In 2007, the Port Authority initiated its redevelopment program,
whose upgrades include the complete repaving of both of the
airport’s runways as part of a $100 million project — the largest
in the airport’s history — and a new Federal Inspection Services
facility to accommodate international flights. In December
2011, the Port Authority Board of Commissioners approved an
expansion of the airport’s passenger terminal. The Port Authority
built a new $10 million regional crime lab for the New York State
Police as part of an agreement that ensures the police force
continues to guard and protect the airport. The lab opened in

City metropolitan region.
§ Walter C. Teter acquired the property in 1917, and the first flight
took place in 1919.
§ During World War I, North American Aviation operated a
manufacturing plant on the site. After the war, the airport served
as a base of operation for Anthony Fokker, the Dutch aircraft
designer.
§ During World War II, the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force operated
the airport.
§ The Port Authority purchased the airport on April 1, 1949, from
Fred L. Wehran, a private owner.
§ The airport was leased to Pan Am World Airways by the Port
Authority in 1970. The airport lease then passed to its successor
organization, Johnson Controls, until December 1, 2000,
when the Port Authority re-assumed full responsibility for the
operation of the airport.

Air Traffic Control Tower
The control tower, which is open 24 hours a day, was constructed
on the east side of the airport by the FAA and went into operation
on October 29, 1975. Construction of a new control tower began in
2020 with site preparation. The anticipated commissioning of the
new tower is planned for fall 2024.
Community Relations and Noise Abatement
Since 1987, Teterboro Airport has engaged local communities
in dialogue on issues of mutual interest through the Teterboro
Airport Noise Abatement Advisory Committee (TANAAC).
The airport provides airport data and other information to the
Committee as well as facilitates access for TANAAC to the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) and provides technical advice in
support of the Committee’s efforts the to enhance quality of life
for surrounding communities while maintaining the efficiency of
airport operations.
Teterboro Airport also has a robust noise abatement program that
has been in place since the 1970s. The program is grandfathered
from changes in FAA regulations as it predates the Airport Noise
and Capacity Act of 1990 (ANCA). The noise abatement program
establishes noise limits for operations on its runways that are
monitored and tracked. Aircraft that violate the noise limits three
times in a two-year period can be banned from the airport. The
airport also has a very successful voluntary curfew on nighttime
operations from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.
