Rudy's began in 1983 when two brothers, Joe and John Celentano, turned a request for food takeout from their family's restaurant near Teterboro Airport in New Jersey into a company that is the leader in the $150 million business aviation in­flight catering industry. Brothers Sal and Rudy Celentano opened a family restaurant with an Italian flair in 1976. Some of its clientele came from people working at Teterboro Airport. The aviation crowd liked the food and wanted the Celentano’s to furnish boxed meals for their aircraft passengers. The brothers declined, but Sal's sons Joe and John saw the opportunity, and "Rudy's Inflight Catering" was born. In 1983, the brothers produced meals for about 16 aircraft a week. They were doing 15 to 20 aircraft a day, a year and a half later. Today, Rudy's provides meals for an average of 400 flights a day out of New York and Washington DC area airports, a number that can triple on peak days. Rudy's Inflight Catering has grown over the past 20 years from a 2,000 square foot kitchen to a 17,000 square foot building in Teterboro. Rudy's Inflight Catering also has facilities located directly on the field at Westchester County Airport in New York and in Chantilly, Virginia, located 5 miles from Dulles International Airport. Rudy’s Inflight Catering services clients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

MEMORANDUM AVIATION DEPARTMENT FROM: Susan Warner-Dooley DATE: September 18, 2008 SUBJECT: 2007 ANNUAL TRAFFIC REPORT Attached is the 2007 Annual Traffic report, which provides important statistics on air traffic at our regional aviation facilities compiled by the Industry Analysis and Forecasting Unit. While the aviation industry remains a dynamic and cyclical industry, 2007 represented a year of growth on many fronts. The number of airports within the PANYNJ Airports System grew with the addition of Stewart International Airport. These airports have continued to serve the growing regional air service demand with record levels of aircraft operations and passengers for the system as a whole. JFK achieved record levels of aircraft operations and passenger traffic and added 17 additional destinations. Newark achieved record levels of international passengers and added 8 additional destinations. Daily departures and destinations also continued to grow at LGA. Stewart reached record levels in passengers.

  • TWA's Lockheed Constellation Makes Trip To
    www.MetroAirportNews.com Serving the Airport Workforce and Local Communities November 2018 INSIDE THIS ISSUE TWA’s Lockheed Constellation Makes Trip to JFK Airport – On I-95 A vintage commercial airplane embarked on a long, slow journey from Maine to New York where it will be turned into a cocktail lounge.

The plane then departed JFK To Get Two New Terminals Tuesday morning and make its way over the next several days to New York on a tow truck. Decorated in authentic TWA livery, our Connie — whose fleet once served as Air Force One for President Dwight D. Eisenhower and broke the record for fastest nonstop trip from Burbank to New York with former TWA owner Howard Hughes at the helm in 1946 — deserves a victory lap before welcoming hotel guests into her cockpit. So, as with all things related to the TWA Hotel project, we looked to TWA’s rich history for inspiration. 15 Continued on page 3 JetBlue Teams Up With the Brooklyn Nets for Its Newest Special Livery EWR Celebrates Past, Present and Future With Ceremonial Groundbreaking Newark Airport which opened on October 1, 1928, was known as the first major airport in the New York-New Jersey metropolitan area.

  • Appendix H Detailed Airport Case Studies
    ACRP 01-14 Considering and Evaluating Airport Privatization Appendix H Appendix H Detailed Airport Case Studies H.1 Case Study Selections Case studies can be a useful means of illustrating first-hand experiences and lessons learned from those experiences. The purpose of this task is to document case studies to illustrate lessons learned for a range of airport sizes, privatization strategies, and forms of governance for both successful and unsuccessful efforts. For each case study, the research team documented (1) the initial goals and objectives of the airport sponsor for undertaking the privatization initiative, (2) a summary of the process employed, (4) a summary of the business terms of the initiative, (4) documentation of the experience to date, and (5) lessons learned. Literature reviews, transaction document reviews, and interviews were used to gather information for the case studies. Each case study considers the objectives, timeline, competitive bidding process, stakeholder interests, business terms, and the consequences (including development and operational experiences) and then presents lessons learned. It should be noted that, where the responses of individual interview participants are referred to in this report, these represent the interviewee’s own views and perceptions. However such responses have only been included to where they appear to represent opinions held more widely, or have been directly substantiated by other means On the basis of recommendations and justifications put forth by the research team, the ACRP Panel decided to ask the team to conduct case studies of the domestic and international airports as noted below.

  • Actions Taken and Needed to Improve FAA's Runway Safety Area Program
    ACTIONS TAKEN AND NEEDED TO IMPROVE FAA’S RUNWAY SAFETY AREA PROGRAM Federal Aviation Administration Report Number: AV-2009-039 Date Issued: March 3, 2009 Memorandum U.S. Department of Transportation Office of the Secretary of Transportation Office of Inspector General Subject: ACTION: Actions Taken and Needed To Date: March 3, 2009 Improve FAA’s Runway Safety Area Program Federal Aviation Administration Report Number AV-2009-039 From: Lou E. Dixon Reply to Attn. of: JA-10 Assistant Inspector General for Aviation and Special Program Audits To: Acting Federal Aviation Administrator This report presents the results of our audit of the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Runway Safety Area (RSA) program. An RSA is a rectangular space around a runway that provides critical safety margins for landing and departing aircraft, thereby helping to minimize the risk to aircraft and passengers from flights that undershoot, overrun, or veer off a runway. Over the last 10 years, 75 aircraft have overrun or veered off the Nation’s runways, resulting in nearly 200 injuries and 12 fatalities. In February 2005, 14 people were injured after an aircraft overran a runway at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey. Ten months later, another aircraft skidded off a runway while landing in icy conditions at Chicago’s Midway Airport. The aircraft finally stopped in a public street—killing 1 person and injuring 4 persons in a car and another 18 on board the aircraft. In November 2005, Congress, in consultation with FAA, mandated that all Part 139 airport1 sponsors enhance passenger safety by improving their RSAs by 2015 and that FAA report annually on its progress toward improving RSAs.
