Nope, wrong.
Squatting doesn’t exist in Port Authority controlled airports. There must be a formal lease agreement in place before exclusive use. If you’re talking about “shared usage” gates then part of what you said is correct. We can request shared usage with other airlines in order to expand operations. Requests aren’t guaranteed to be approved however.

By adding capacity that requires it to use NK gates is “squatting”. Sure they could come to agreement to lease those gates, but no agreement exists right now.
I sure hope they get it resolved sooner rather than later.
