振兴纽约机场综合计划启动

Plan to overhaul New York airports takes step forward

A long-awaited overhaul of New York’s LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy International airports moved a step closer to reality when the state and federal governments touted a sweeping plan to make over two of the busiest U.S. travel hubs.

The initiative, announced by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and Vice President Joe Biden, envisions state-of-the-art facility upgrades, improved transportation links and more efficient air-traffic control technology at the two aging airports in the country’s most populous city.

The airports, which are operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, served 77 million passengers and generated $53 billion in economic activity last year, according to the state.
