April 25, 2000 | Response in Opposition of the Office of the Queens Borough President | LaGuardia Regional Jet; LaGuardia- Hartford, Ct |
| Service List |
While it is true that both airports in Queens generate thousands of jobs and other economic benefits for residents of the county, it is also true that these residents must also bear the burdens resulting from close proximity to the airports, including aircraft noise, air pollution, safety risks, and increased levels of traffic congestion on the airports' access roads, on the airports' tarmacs and runways, and in the skies above and around Queens. These problems are exacerbated near LaGuardia, which is located in one of the most densely populated residential areas of all the airports in the nation.

May 2, 2000 | Reply of the US Airways Carriers to the Opposition of the Borough of Queens | LaGuardia Regional Jet; LaGuardia- Hartford, Ct |
| Service List |
Congress liberalized access at slot-controlled LaGuardia Airport in Air-21 earlier this year. The US Airways Express Carriers immediately sought to use this liberalized access in order to offer enhanced, nonstop services to small-hub and non-hub communities that clearly deserve such service. These communities, as well as the people of Queens and the greater New York City area, will greatly benefit from these enhanced services, and these services fully satisfy the relevant statutory requirements of Air-21. Queens argues that DOT must "affirmatively evaluate the applications" to determine which communities "really need" increased, thereby reading requirements into the statute that do not exist. Congress has spoken, and the Air-21 legislation does not permit any such subjective evaluations. All that is required is that an airline satisfy certain delineated objective criteria.
