The bar chart shows the number of travellers using three major airports in New York City, namely John F. Kennedy, LaGuardia and Newark, from 1995 to 2000.
Overall, the number of passengers increased at all three airports during the period. LaGuardia was the busiest airport throughout and experienced the strongest growth, while Newark had the lowest figures despite a steady rise.
In 1995, LaGuardia served about 35 million passengers, compared with roughly 26 million at John F. Kennedy and 16 million at Newark. Passenger numbers at all airports then increased, with John F. Kennedy reaching a peak of nearly 47 million in 1997, slightly higher than LaGuardia at around 43 million.
After 1997, LaGuardia continued to grow and became clearly dominant, reaching approximately 68 million passengers by 2000. In contrast, John F. Kennedy showed some fluctuation, dropping to just over 30 million in 1999 before rising again to around 45 million in the final year. Meanwhile, Newark increased gradually to about 42 million passengers in 2000.
