Background
FAA's Eastern Region Air Traffic Division is redesigning the airspace in the New York/New Jersey/Philadelphia Metropolitan area to reduce delays in the area. The major airports experiencing severe delays are:
- Newark International (EWR)
- John F. Kennedy International (JFK)
- LaGuardia (LGA)
- Philadelphia International Airport (PHL)
The closeness of the airports results in complex pilot/controller and controller/controller coordination and circuitous flight paths. The current airspace environment is inefficient for aviation users and FAA. More »
