All three airports are run by the same lovely organization (PANYNJ) but they are effectively competing with one another another as their tenants are competitors with each other.

All the problems could be fixed by all three airports closing, or massively reducing their arrival capacity ….and build an artificial island west of Sandy Hook and Staten Island (12 DME 193r JFK 115.9) kind of like what they have in Korea for ICN. Accessibility by high speed rail from 5 line (2 from NJT, LIRR, MTA, and even Metro North)…..that way you can have two runway simultaneous departures, and two runways for simultaneous arrivals…

We all know this will never happen

Sound like a stupid dream…..well it also sounds dumb when we act surprised when issues like this week arise as they are very predictable, so I choose to not get angry about it.
