4 Including comparative data on airports worldwide and the multitude of destinations our airports offer our customers. 2017 IN PERSPECTIVE Globally synchronized growth led to a record year for air travel in 2017, and the Port authority s airport system contributed significantly to this phenomenon: Our airports handled an all-time record million passengers, growing percent over 2016 s previous record. This marks our sixth consecutive year of record growth, and it s the first time we ve logged a six-year growth streak since 1995-2000.

5 The current run of record years has featured an average growth rate of percent, compared to percent for the six-year streak at the turn of the century. This strong and sustained growth is a testament to the resilience and dynamism of the Port authority s airport system, and underscores the importance of the agency s long-term vision for the airports, and the capital plan that supports this airports set 10 records: Most total passengers, system-wide, million Most international passengers, system-wide, million Most domestic passengers, system-wide, million Most total passengers, JFK, million Most international passengers, JFK, million Most total passengers, EWR, 43 million Most international passengers, EWR, million Most domestic passengers, EWR, million Most international passengers, LGA, million Most international passengers, SWF, 141.

6 000 EWR led the region s growth by adding million passengers, a percent jump that was assisted in part by the easing of some slot restrictions. SWF s passenger traffic increased by a whopping 61 percent due mainly to the launch of scheduled international service by Norwegian Air. JFK grew percent, while LGA dipped 1 percent due to construction-related inconveniences Cargo deserves a special mention. Momentum from 2016 helped propel percent growth in 2017 by far the sharpest annual increase since the recovery began in 2010.

7 This strong performance is significant for two reasons: It represents the first time since 2004 that we have had four consecutive years of cargo growth, and 2017 s growth rate towers over the percent average rate of growth we saw across the three preceding years. The attached statistics are a continuing reflection of the Aviation Department s desire to keep our stakeholders informed, and reaffirms our commitment to achieving regional prosperity through a unified system of airport facilities that offer safe and secure environments, an excellent customer experience, and environmentally sustainable and friendly services delivered by a first-rate staff.

Kennedy International AirportHISTORY Construction for a new international airport began in 1942 under a New York City contract on the site of the Idlewild Golf Course in Queens, New York City. The Port authority of new York and New Jersey began operating the soon-to-open airport on June 1, 1947, under a lease with the City of new York.

9 On July 9, 1948, commercial flights began flying into and out of the newly opened New York International Airport. The airport was rededicated John F. Kennedy International Airport on December 24, 1963, in memory of the nation s 35th president. On February 7, 1964, the Beatles arrived for the first time in the United States and entertained reporters and the public at a press conference in the former International Arrivals Building. Over the decades, the airport has been a gateway for numerous presidents and dignitaries, including thousands who have arrived throughout the years for the annual United Nations General Assembly.

10 In 2000, JFK welcomed its one-billionth passenger. In 2004, the Port authority and the City of new York concluded an agreement that ensures the agency s continued operation of JFK through 2050. JFK made airport history on March 19, 2007, when the A380, the world s largest passenger aircraft, touched down on soil for the first time in a route-proving test, and again on August 1, 2008, when an Emirates Airline A380 landed at JFK the first regularly scheduled arrival of the A380 in the United States.
