The line graph illustrates the number of travellers who used three major airports in New York City-JFk, LaGuardia, and Newwark-over a six-year period from 1995 to 2000.
Overall, the number of travellers increased for all three airports during this period, though at varying rates. While LaGuardia Airport saw a steady and consistent rise, JFK experienced some fluctuations, and Newark showed a sharp increase after a period of stability.
In 1995, LaGuardia and JFK both served around 35 million and 25 million travellers, respectively, whereas Newark had the smallest number at approximately 15 million. LaGuardia Airport demonstrated consistent growth year-on-year, reaching nearly 50 million passengers by 2000. Newark akso began with 15 million users and remained stable until 1997, after which it experienced a rapid surge, peaking at around 42 million in 2000.
In contrast, JFK showed a fluctuating pattern. From 1995 to 1997, the number of travellers increased significantly from about 25 million to just over 40 million. However, there was a sharp decline in 1998, falling back to the initial level of 25 million. Despite this setback, JFK’s numbers recovered and ended the period at around 45 million in 2000, slightly below LaGuardia.
