  1. Report Findings Jeffrey M. Zupan & Richard E. Barone NYMTC PFAC – April 21, 2011

  2. Three Airports Rank at the Bottom At 20minutes FAA caps flights, which limits use At 10minutes to match most major airports, improving level of service

  3. Air Passengers Projected to Increase by 45% by 2030

  4. What’s At Stake? By the mid-2030s Annually 39 million annual passengers not served Accumulative Over $100 billion in sales not generated Over $50 billion in wages not earned Today Airports are running out of capacity; each million passengers not accommodated cost the region: • $166 million in wages annually • $480 million in sales annually • 4,100 jobs annually

  5. Objectives for 2030s Capacity for 78 more aircraft movements per hour (up from 236 today) Capacity to serve 39 million more passengers Capacity to reduce average delay for today’s 20+ minutes or more to 10 minutes

  6. The Choice: Upgrade to World Class or Stay at Worst Class? • Global competiveness – direct access to over 200 markets • Maintain leadership in tourism growth – internationally and domestically

  7. Potential Solutions NextGen I and II Outlying airports to free up capacity Intercity rail to free up capacity New airport to free up capacity Manage demand to increase aircraft size and use in off-peak hours Expansion at three major airports

  8. NextGen NextGen I deployment expected by 2018 NextGen II deployment expected by 2025 Capacity gains trade-off with delay reductions Significant issues remain (i.e. human factors, federal funding and aircraft equipage)

  9. 66 Existing Outlying Airports Examined:By 150 MAP: SWF and ISP saves only 2 flights per peak hour each at of the three majors, serving 2.6 million passengers

  10. Stewart & MacArthur Airports Can grow to over 3 million passengers each annually Captures sizable Hudson Valley and Long Island markets Opportunity to capture niche markets looking for low cost travel SWF has more long term runway capacity than ISP

  11. Improved Rail: What Could It Do By 2030s? • One to two flights per hour at JFK and EWR, more at LGA; serves 2 million passengers. • If “true” high speed, 3 per hour at JFK and EWR, and 12 at LGA; serves 4 million passengers • Adds capacity only if airlines drop flights, no lower plane size

  12. Scoured the region for land area large enough and close enough and found nothing suitable A Totally New Airport?

  13. Manage Demand Passive Actions • Add few flights in shoulders with slot controls in effect (only 55 more flights of 3,800 daily) Actions Requiring Regulatory or Legislative Intervention • Thinning out service between LGA and Boston, DCA, RDU • Encourage / require airlines to drop flights rather than downsize in reaction to shift to intercity rail and outlying airports What Doesn’t Work • General aviation bans • Air-cargo bans • Pricing

  14. Expansion and Reconfiguration Airspace screening : LGA – 4, EWR – 3, JFK – 7 or 20 combinations

  15. Expansion and Reconfiguration Airspace screening : LGA – 0, EWR – 1, JFK – 4 or 4 combinations

  16. One Remaining Option at EWR

  17. JFK Expansion in Context: Gateway National Park

  18. JFK Option #4 – All 4/22

  19. JFK Option #5 – All 4/22

  20. JFK Option #6 – New NextGen -13/31

  21. JFK Option #7 – New NextGen – 13/31

  22. The Four JFK Options Recommend further study of all remaining options. The 4-22 options #4 and #5 are not dependent on NextGen, removing some risk. Environmental tradeoffs of the 13-31, no fill or mitigating Grassy Bay, merits continued consideration. Ultimate selection depends on environmental and community input, mitigation actions by the Port Authority working with all potentially affected parties.

  23. People, Planes, Time and Money

  24. 115 MAP Next Five to Ten Years Outlying Airports NextGen 3.4 7.6 Meets need • 20,000 jobs • $2.6 billion sales • $1 billion in wages 5 million more Passengers served 20 minutes Today - 236 11 Operations Needed

  25. 130 MAP By the 2020’s Intercity Rail Outlying Airports Expansion of EWR and/or JFK NextGen 4.4 5.6 10 20 Meets need IF expansion 9 ops per hr JFK 11 ops per hr EWR • 80,000 jobs • $10.2 billion sales • $3.7 billion in wages 19.5 million more Passengers served 15 minutes Today - 236 40 Operations Needed

  26. 150 MAP By the 2030’s Intercity Rail Outlying Airports Expansion of EWR and JFK NextGen 6 8 56 8 Meets need IF expansion 32 ops per hr JFK 24 ops per hr EWR 7 ops per hr LGA • 127,000 jobs • $16.3 billion sales • $5.9 billion in wages +39 million more Passengers served 10 minutes Today - 236 78 Operations Needed

  27. Scenario Recap • 2010s - Settling for current delay standard, because we have no choice. Can meet capacity needs. • 2020s – Targeting 15-minute delay standard, because we are aiming higher. Need for expansion in long run is apparent. • 2030s – Achieving 10-minute delay standard, because we are upgrading to world class. Expansion at JFK and EWR must be open by 2030s. LGA may require some service thinning.

  28. The Alternative Futures Without more capacity, we are forced to keep the slot controls which turn away millions of future passengers, and the economic benefit that goes with it, - or - Create a world class airport system that not only accommodates the growth of the first half of the 21st Century, but with less delay than today

  29. Ground Access- JFK Short/Near Term Re-invigorate taxi sharing program Kew Gardens interchange improvements underway Ridership doubles on AirTrain since it opened, and continues to grow LIRR connection to Grand Central Terminal will further boost AirTrain use Bus rapid transit options Passenger car tolls into airport, as done elsewhere Long Term One-seat ride, either using LIRR right-of-way or subway and Atlantic Branch right-of-way Consideration of new highway capacity; Clearview extension tough but need to understand better

  30. JFK Preferred Transit Options

  31. Ground Access - EWR Short/Near Term Agreement to lower taxi fares between EWR and New York More regular service by NJT to airport station Bus rapid transit options Replace aging and unreliable people mover on airport PATH extension to NEC station Long Term PATH extension to EWR terminals

  32. EWR Preferred Transit Options

  33. Ground Access - LGA Short/Near Term Re-invigorate taxi sharing program Bus rapid transit options Passenger car tolls into airport, as done elsewhere Long Term AirTrain to Woodside for connections to LIRR and # 7 Flushing line

  34. LGA Preferred Transit Options
