It is widely accepted that at some point in the future, John F. Kennedy International (JFK), Newark Liberty International (EWR), and LaGuardia Airport (LGA), will ultimately exceed their capacity to accommodate the demand for commercial air service in the NY/NY metropolitan area. Recognizing both the limitations of the three metropolitan area airports and the possibility that other commercial service airports in the region could potentially augment regional airport capacity, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) initiated a study to evaluate future air service demand in the region and to assess the ability of nine regional airports to accommodate that demand. Under contract with the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission, and funded by an FAA grant, a team of aviation consultants comprised of staff from Parsons Brinckerhoff Aviation, Landrum & Brown, and Airport Interviewing and Research, initiated the FAA Regional Air Service Demand Study (The Study) in late November, 2004. Included in the Study is an examination and assessment of the regions three large-hub airports including John F. Kennedy International (JFK), LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), as well as, six of its small hub airports, including Stewart International (SWF), Westchester County (HPN), and Long Island/Mac Arthur (ISP) Airports in New York State; Trenton Mercer (TTN) and Atlantic City International (ACY) Airports in New Jersey; and Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE) in Pennsylvania. To some degree, the service areas of the small-hub airports overlap that of the regions large-hub airports. It is therefore important to determine to what extent these outlying airports can provide incremental capacity in the regional airport system.
