Yea I was gonna say, when was this footage filmed?! She’s wearing a mask in September of 2024. Then it said Newark Liberty construction would finish in 2022.
I'm an airline pilot and still loathe LGA even after the upgrades. It's still every bit as crowded, I've already seen bits of ceiling tiles falling, and leaks in some places. Airside, it's every bit as chaotic if not worse. We'll have gate holds of 4 hours going into LGA even in a perfectly clear VFR day. There's a reason for why almost every US airline with hubs in the NYC airports are their most junior bases for crews: they all suck
At 21:43, the guy says only 60 million Americans have a passport. That is definitely wrong. They're currently 160,668,889 passports in circulation as of September 2023 according to the State Department website.
but given how some people can have multiple passports (Service passport/diplomatic passport in addition to their regular passport), the dude could very well be correct
@@thed542 The US State Department released this tweet on July 18, 2023: "U.S. citizens are returning to international travel and connecting with the world in droves. More Americans have passports than at any time in our history - 46 percent today versus 30 percent in 2008. We anticipate that this increased demand for passports will continue.

Ther Port Authority in its charter has jurisdiction witnin 25 miles from Columbus Circle. Stewart is about 60. That's why the Tappan Zee Bridge is where it is - out of PANYNJ's authority.

Lisbon, Portugal needs to upgrade their airport. I was very suprised to see the condition of that airport after being in airports in Frankfort, Munic, and Istambul
To be fair about this all 6 airports are working together to coordinate traffic witch is ripe for delays compared an area that has say two major airports for the TRACON to handle. If one of the 6 airports has issues it spills over to the others. Also with commercial air travel delays are part of the game with unforeseen issues that one can not control. Like weather and mechanical issues. Now let's say Chicago has weather delays with flights to NYC. That will cause delays to the arrivals to NYC. Do we blame the NYC airports for weather in Chicago ? So comparing 6 airports in the NYC area to perhaps 2 in another city is no comparable. Complex system with many moving parts and when one fails it has a ripple effect.
Well, they may want to remember to make the seats bigger like they were back in the 60s and 70s and 80s and don’t worry about how much money they can make for their stockholders
Here I was thinking this would be a promotion/propaganda piece for the NY airports ... and I was pleasantly surprised to see it kinda wasn't. Well done Curiosity. ❤
One of my first projects in my career was to help review the Air Quality and Environmental Noise Impact sections of the Airtrain Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and associated technical reports as part of the PANYNJ project management team. The original project linked JFK and LGA to Jamaica Center and from there to Manhattan. This allowed both airport passengers to go to Jamaica station (a hub for the LIRR, several subway lines, and bus lines) or to continue to Manhattan. There were some subalternatives/options for different number of stops in Manhattan Due to budgetary limitations (aka how much they can convince the Feds to fund), only the JFK to Jamaica Center was built.
If only they'd get rid of LaGuardia I swear I hate that airport with a passion, but you gotta admit NYC's Airports did show the other major airports what not to do for the most part except you BWI and MIA. You both know what you did
The subway from Manhattan give you a straight shot to JFK or the LIRR with get you there with perhaps one transfer . The Path train from Manhattan can get you to Newark also. Just do your homework and get a plan going . It's easy to avoid all of this and take taxis. The problem is it's costly and can take a long time . La Guardia is a problem. The trains and subway will get you close , but the you need a bus to finish the trip. It's been thought of for years but the politicians trip over their own feet ! Let's not cloud the issue with common sense here.!
Sometimes your just better off moving to a new greenfield site & putting ALL the infrastructure in before you build the airport. Build a fast train into the city. You could have it 50 miles away & a fast train will get into the city in 15 minutes. How do you pay for that? Sell the old airports off when your done.
Only if the train is very cheap or free, otherwise everyone who knows someone with a car will have someone drive them to and from the airport, and It'll be a HUGE waste of gas(probably tolls, too) if the airport is really far out of the metro area.
NYC doesn't manage its airports, a bi-state authority, the Port Authority of NY NJ does.Enter problem 1-A. And a slew of local transport jurisdictions handle ground traffic.
@@aapoetik No, “Curiosity Stream” is a real streaming service, but it’s paid, so I just assume they delay public releases of their productions until they feel they’ve milked it enough on their own website.
Actually, it's propaganda against the Port Authority as it tries to make a case for privatization, rather than improving the service. Making it less of a service, and more of a money-making scheme where the race to the bottom of quality is dressed up to look pretty and efficient, while actually cutting corners to do so.
Wait a minute! That thumbnail and video is so misleading. New York City does not have three airports. There are only TWO airports, Kennedy and LaGuardia International Airport. Newark Liberty International Airport is PHYSICALLY LOCATED in the Cities of Newark, Essex County, New Jersey and the City of Elizabeth, Union County, New Jersey, NOT NEW YORK. 🤦♂️
Go to Travelocity and type in New York. Click on New York, New York. It corrects to "New York (and vicinity)" So while yes, Newark is in all those cities, counties and state you listed, Newark has been and always will be, in the court of public opinion, a New York City airport. When you have three so close together, who cares? Someone should tell you about the London airports... London Luton is in Luton, London Stansted is in Stansted, London Gatwick is the second busiest UK airport and it's 45 miles away from London Heathrow, which is itself, not in "London". 😂
They said at the begining that all three airports (plus some smaller ones) mainly (but not exclusively) "serve" NYC. The entire population of NJ is just over 9 million. NYC alone is 8 million. Philadelphia International (PHL) probably serves a good chunk of the other end of NJ. Interestingly enough, my wife's cousin and her daughter can to visit NYC. The daughter is looking to get an MBA at Columbia U. They flew into Newark because it was cheaper.
Strange to see this published in September 2024 but then hear about the status of projects in 2021. Having flown LGA a lot, it’s very very nice now!

This is a part of the NYC revealed series released on Curiosity Stream in early 2022.
I remember the TWA terminal when it was actually a terminal was one of my favorite terminals
Stayed at the TWA hotel bought back great memories of my travels in the 60s 70s 80s

This was filmed in 2021. People were still wearing masks then.
Anytime Cheddar is involved I just expect lots of inaccuracies and BS
The TWA flight center may be my favorite US building. Certainly top 10 globally
The title should be “How NYC DOESNT manage their airports” 😭
Thank you for sharing the airline airport industry.😊
You forgot TEB in the NYC airports. It’s the busiest private jet airport in the area.
If the Port Authority was smart they would actually utilize and expand Stewart Airport to take away some traffic from the big 3
Ther Port Authority in its charter has jurisdiction witnin 25 miles from Columbus Circle. Stewart is about 60. That's why the Tappan Zee Bridge is where it is - out of PANYNJ's authority.
The PA should utilize SWF and ACY, and have a high speed rail network connecting all of NYC, JFK, LGA EWR to said extra airports and each other.
It would be nice if the N and W lines got extended to LaGuardia
Amazing how all that works ❤❤
19:42 It was at O'hare in 1958 by United not TWA in NYC.
I am fascinated by your graphics, Riis was the city planner, I now see why we have to demolish everything .
As a musician the guitar at 9:35 sent me into panic mode!
right, the chance of it getting damaged would have me too worried!

La Guardia airport is very beautiful now and they’re doing the same at JFK. I still think there will be delays though, the area is just too congested.
Did he mean aircraft and not airlines? 1:44
American airports are just insane. I still remember the planes lining up to take off at Denver airport. 😵
Well, they may want to remember to make the seats bigger like they were back in the 60s and 70s and 80s and don’t worry about how much money they can make for their stockholders
Dare anybody who hates NY airports to go to Lagos airport once and have a rethink😂
They’d probably get scammed by merely entering Lagos.
only been to EWR but damn It felt easy in 2017 because it was a tuesday & Immigration was fast...
That very first clip with the towers really hitting out soft spots for new yorkers Curiousity considering 9/11 was 3 days ago.
EWR and JFK are incredibly easy to get to from manhattan…
Absolutely no way would I wanna drive in NYC. I already hate driving around Atlanta lol.
Here I was thinking this would be a promotion/propaganda piece for the NY airports ... and I was pleasantly surprised to see it kinda wasn't. Well done Curiosity. ❤
Unnecessary music track spoilt it for me.
They should add a AirTran in lga dat it will be easy transit

to reach JFK they want you to use the E line.

Ya know, Rick Cotton, if I was head of the Port Authority I would not be bragging that Biden called LaGuardia a third world airport.
First
This is just an outdated propaganda piece for the Port Authority. How much did it pay to have it published? Shame on you Curiosity Stream!!!

Answer: Not very well. All airports should be under Federal control.
