The bar chart compares the number of passengers, measured in millions, who used three major airports in New York City between 1995 and 2000.
Overall, LaGuardia handled the highest volume of passengers in most years, although John F. Kennedy Airport briefly overtook it in 1997. All three airports experienced overall growth during the period, with JFK showing the most noticeable fluctuations.
In 1995, LaGuardia served approximately 35 million passengers, and this figure rose steadily to 50 million by 1999. It then increased sharply to around 70 million in 2000, making it the busiest airport by the end of the period.
John F. Kennedy Airport began at about 30 million passengers in 1995 and rose to just over 50 million in 1997, the highest figure among the three airports that year. However, the number then fell to approximately 38 million in 1998 before recovering to around 47 million by 2000.
Newark had the lowest passenger numbers at the beginning, with only about 15 million in 1995. The figure grew consistently to roughly 45 million by 1998 and then remained relatively stable at just over this level until 2000.
