Quest for an Airport in New Jersey - New York Area
Publication: Journal of the Aero-Space Transport Division
Volume 92, Issue 1
Abstract
To the present (1966) extensive but unfruitful studies have been made concerning an additional airport to meet the growing needs of the Northern New Jersey-New York metropolitan region. Three principal study factors critical to siting are: (1) Airspace—Existing airways and airports preempt airspace to the extent that the only area suitable for a new airport is the so-called Northwest Quadrant; (2) Accessibility—Convenience of an airport to its market is basic. Consideration of sites significantly less accessible then existing airports must assume significant deterioration of air travel potential; and (3) Economics—The development and operation of an airport is at best a marginal undertaking. Any promise of economic self-sufficiency of a new airport requires favorable terrain and accessibility. The above criteria alone severely restrict the siting potential for another major airport.
