The chart provides information about amount of passengers who travelled among New York City’s three main airports: John F. Kennedy, LaGuardia, and Newark, during the period of 5 years, namely 1995-2000.
Overall, passenger numbers increased at all three airports over the six-year period. It is clear that LaGuardia experienced the most significant growth and became the busiest airport by 2000, while passenger numbers at Newark increased only slightly before levelling off by the end of the period.
John F. Kennedy stood at 28 million passengers in 1995 and rose to 45 million by the end of the period, despite some fluctuations. Passenger numbers peaked at 48 million in 1997 before declining slightly over the following three years. In comparison, LaGuardia started with 35 million passengers, its lowest figure, and reached 69 million by 2000, its highest figure. From 1998 onwards, LaGuardia handled the highest number of passengers among the three airports.
Turning to Newark, passenger numbers increased steadily from 15 million in 1995 to 35 million by 2000. The figure rose gradually until 1998, after which it levelled off and remained unchanged during the final two years. Despite this upward trend, Newark consistently handled the fewest passengers among the three airports throughout the period.
