    You're viewing an archived copy from the New Jersey State Library. 2007 AIRPORT TRAFFIC REPORT Kennedy • Newark Liberty • LaGuardia • Stewart Teterboro • Downtown Manhattan Heliport You're viewing an archived copy from the New Jersey State Library. 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. REGION NY/ NJ REGIONAL PASSENGERS: 1960-2007 2001-2007 32% 80's growt h 90's Growt h 12 0 38% 36% 110 . 0 10 0 70's Growt h 92.8 40% 83.3 80 74.8 60's Growt h 68.2 134% 60 53.5 54 .1 37.4 38.2 40 16 . 0 20 0 The strength of 2007 notwithstanding, these record results could not portend the fact that the industry is now entering into one of its downward cycles like those which have punctuated the cycle of growth over the last 50 years.

Although they may not be fully knowledgeable about the routes, they do understand compatible and non-compatible land-use. TEB routes provide guidance when utilizing compatible land-use areas. Operator compliance with that guidance is appreciated to the extent possible to achieve safe flight and ATC requirements. TEB noise rules apply to all aircraft. Helicopter operations do not need prior approval, but helicopter departures are subject to violations.

    RUDY’S INFLIGHT CATERING Media Contacts: 180 North Street Jessica Rourke, Rudy’s Inflight Catering Teterboro, NJ 07608 201­727­1122, [email protected] Bruce Fabricant, Public Relations 914­328­0226, [email protected] What is Rudy's Inflight Catering Rudy's Inflight Catering is the pioneer and worldwide leader in business aviation in­flight catering. 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.

  • 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.

  • Pilot's Guide to Teterboro (KTEB)
    Pilot’s Guide to Teterboro (KTEB) December 2012 Signature Flight Support Teterboro Airport at a Glance … Nearby Attractions Just twelve miles from midtown Manhattan, Teterboro Airport, with its rich aviation history, is designed as a “reliever” airport for general aviation requirements of the region. The airport has no scheduled commercial air carrier operations nor allows aircraft operations with weights in excess of 100,000 pounds. It is your gateway to the city that never sleeps New York, New York! Interested in a unique shopping excursion? Try the Best of Fifth Avenue in New York City. A designer hasn’t hit the big time until they have a flagship store on New York’s fashion-famous Fifth Avenue. From jewelers like Tiffany & Co. to high-end designers like Louis Vuitton and Gucci to a host of more-mainstream apparel stores, if you can’t find it on Fifth Avenue, it probably isn’t worth finding. Perhaps a visit to FAO Schwarz Toy Store, enchanting children since 1862 - also located on New York’s Fifth Avenue - should be on your holiday shopping list. While in Manhattan, take an opportunity to enjoy the finest in live theatre or a double-decker sightseeing tour of Times Square, Rockefeller Center/Top of the Rock, Empire State Building, Lincoln Center for Performing Arts, Intrepid Air & Space Museum and many more attractions too numerous to mention.
