Assuming on-airport roadways were AIP eligible, FAA could be funding such 
infrastructure or at least a part of it – grant assurances could apply in 
addition to various advisory circulars.  FAA would also need to approve the 
airport layout plan.

Port Authority plans LaGuardia, Newark terminal rebuilds

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey unveiled a 10-year capital 
development proposal with $20.7 billion in airport projects, including 
reconstructing a terminal at both New York LaGuardia (LGA) and Newark Liberty 
International (EWR) airports. The proposal for capital projects, now open to 
public comment, is a follow-up to the Port Authority’s 2017-25 capital plan 
that yielded a series of airport revamps. These include soon-to-open Terminals 
1 and 6 at New York John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), a new Terminal 
A at EWR and rebuilds of two terminals at LGA. Aaron Karp/Aviation

the move.

New York Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON, N90) was one of the lowest 
staffed (by percentage of what they had vs. what they should have had for full 
staffing) facilities for the last 20 years. Very hard to staff because of its 
well-deserved reputation as very tough for transferring controllers to 
successfully train and certify at, largely because of the complexity of the 
airspace. Also, it's a high cost of living area and there was no congressional 
appetite to build a new facility away from Long Island or combine it with the 
other large FAA facility on Long Island, the New York Air Route Traffic Control 
Center (ARTCC).

According to the FAA, Philadelphia offered advantages for relocating the Newark 
area of N90, including improved efficiency and a lower cost of living.

Newark air traffic controllers will stay in Philadelphia for 2 more years, FAA 
says

More than one year ago, the Federal Aviation Administration relocated more than 
a dozen New York-based air traffic controllers to Philadelphia, where they 
continue to handle flights into and out of Newark Liberty International 
Airport. The FAA said Monday it is now asking the New Jersey air traffic 
controllers to stay in Philadelphia for two more years as it tries to improve 
staffing levels. Last year, a CBS News New York investigation revealed the move 
caused 817 flight delays at Newark within the first two weeks. Tim
