The given illustration presents data on the number of visitors to three main airports located in New York City from 1995 to 2000.
Overall, LaGuardia was the only airport to follow an upward trend throughout the years. The number of travellers choosing John F. Kennedy increased until 1998 and levelled off since then while Newark experienced fluctuations in figures.
It is evident that starting from 1995 LaGuardia had the highest indicator, 35 million, which was approximately doubled to 70 million in 2000. However, it was only in 1997 that the figure was overtaken by the number of passengers travelling through John F. Kennedy, by around 5 million. In 1999, there was a considerable difference between the figures as travellers at LaGuardia Airport numbered roughly 20 million and 10 million more than John F. Kennedy and Newark travellers, respectively.
Starting from 1995 as the lowest figure, Newark travellers went up from about 17 million to 26 million whereas John F. Kennedy travellers reached 35 million in the same year, leaving passengers of Newark behind by roughly 9 million. After slightly exceeding 40 million, the number of travellers through Newark plateaued. In contrast, figures for John F. Kennedy passengers experienced a period of changes during the last three years, ending at 45 million.
