Port Authority Really Hates Bush Administration's Flight Plan

2008_08_airplane.jpg The federal Department of Transportation has been looking to reduce congestion at airports, especially the NYC-area ones, but the Port Authority says auctioning departure and arrival slots would "have a severe negative impact” and “would be illegal without Congressional authorization.” The Port Authority said today it will deny any flights at JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark that are result of government auction. Hmm, that sounds like a good way to reduce congestion!

Ok the Port Authority doesn't like the D.O.T's plan. So what solutions is the PA proposing to alleviate the severe delays impacting the three metro NYC airports?

Oh, that's right, the PA isn't in the "solutions" business.
