Posted by Peter Rosa on Mon Sep 15 12:32:39 2025, in response to Re: Another aviation example of New York’s decline, posted by New Flyer #857 on Mon Sep 15 09:00:56 2025. Timing did not work in New York’s favor. JFK (and of course LaGuardia) were built before the hub and spoke model was the dominant mode of air travel. It would have been far better if JFK had been designed differently, so that it could handle the shorter distance domestic traffic that now goes to LaGuardia in addition to its long haul foreign and west coast traffic, but no one could have foreseen the future.At this point there don’t appear to be any easy solutions to the lack of true hub status at JFK. Even Jet Blue’s operations are not an actual hub. If New Yorkers ever would accept that Newark is actually a New York airport they’d be able to take solace that there’s at least one true hub serving the city (United), but that would be a huge psychological change that’ll never happen. |
