Courtesy FAA The ATO implemented the first steps of its New York-New Jersey-Philadelphia Airspace Redesign Wednesday, and, as a result, the air corridor out of New York looks a bit less like the Holland Tunnel. Under the first changes, during periods of peak demand controllers at Newark Liberty International Airport, Philadelphia International Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport will be able to instruct planes to fan out after takeoff toward divergent points in the sky rather than following each other to a single navigational heading. These new takeoff patterns will allow aircraft to fan out after take off and provide more options for aircraft waiting to depart, said Transportation Secretary Mary Peters, who announced various measures to reduce New York-area congestion at the FAA Command Center in Herndon, Va. today. These "dispersal headings" will reduce the time planes have to wait before taking off and cut delays on some of New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia's crowded runways, according to Steve Kelley, the ATO's manager of the airspace redesign. Currently, planes leaving Newark, Philadelphia and Kennedy have to wait for the aircraft departing ahead of them to fly at least three miles before they can take off. That wait is often a minute long. That may not sound like much time, but if 30 planes are waiting to depart, a minute between each takeoff can quickly grow into half an hour or more of delay. That kind of slow down can cascade into multiple ...
Now we reported here recently the case of a young Chinese student who breached airport security to kiss his girlfriend goodbye, triggering the shutdown of a busy Newark Airport terminal in New Jersey. The romantic gesture led to flight delays worldwide, and the arrest of the 28 year old Romeo. Hes now been charged with trespassing and faces a fine of up to $500. Security video shows Jiang Haisong, a doctoral student at Rutgers University simply ducking under a rope barrier and walking "hand in hand toward the boarding area". But Local Senator Frank Lautenberg is furious that Jiang faces what he says is no more than a "slap on the wrist". The senator said the act was "premeditated" and did terrible injustice" to the thousands of travellers who were inconvenienced. Hes even suggested Jiang be deported. Now the incident has caused massive online reaction in China. Let's go to BON's Jackie Wen in the newsroom to see what net users are saying about this.
Meet Mikey, 8: US Has Him on Watch List Michael Hicks, 8, a Cub Scout in Clifton, NJ, has the same name as a suspicious person. Meet Mikey Hicks, 8-year-old New Jersey Cub Scout and frequent traveler who has seldom boarded a plane without a hassle because he shares the name of a suspicious person. Michael Winston Hickss mother initially sensed trouble when he was a baby and she could not get a seat for him on their flight to Florida at an airport kiosk; airline officials explained that his name was on the list, she recalled. The first time he was patted down, at Newark Liberty International Airport, Mikey was 2. He cried. After years of long delays and waits for supervisors at every airport ticket counter, this years vacation to the Bahamas badly shook up the family. Mikey was frisked on the way there, then more aggressively on the way home. Up your arms, down your arms, up your crotch — someone is patting your 8-year-old down like hes a criminal, A terrorist can blow his underwear up and they dont catch him. But my 8-year-old cant walk through security without being frisked. It is true that Mikey is not on the federal governments no-fly list, which includes about 2500 people, less than 10 percent of them from the United States. But his name appears to be among some 13500 on the larger selectee list, which sets off a high level of security screening. At some point, someone named Michael Hicks made the Department of Homeland Security suspicious, and little Mikey is still ...

from cbs2tv: It's a tale of shocking ineptitude: CBS 2 has learned a series of missteps unnecessarily added to the mayhem at Newark Liberty International Airport on Sunday. The six-hour delay stranded thousands of people, creating extreme crowding and chaos. The mistakes made at the airport give new meaning to the term "domino effect." It was a cascading series of missteps that cry out for action. The sign at the Transportation Security Administration screening post at Newark read: "Premises Under Constant Video Surveillance." What is should add is: "If We're Lucky." media monarchy dot com
The airport originally was operated by the United States Army Air Force. It closed in 1949 as Coolidge Air Force Base. Upon its closure by the USAF, the airfield became a civil airport. It was known as Coolidge International Airport until 1985, when it was named in honor of Sir Vere Cornwall Bird (1910-1999), the first prime minister of Antigua and Barbuda. In December 2005, the Antigua and Barbuda Millennium Airport Corporation announced it would invite tenders to construct the first phase of a new passenger terminal designed to serve the airport for 30 years. On 17 September 1965, a Pan Am Boeing 707-121B en route from Fort de France, Martinique, to St. John's struck Chance Peak on Montserrat, an island to the southwest of Antigua, killing all 30 aboard. The pilot mistakenly believed he was descending into Antigua. As a result, a VHF omnirange (VOR) transmitter was installed at the St. John's airport. On 18 June 2009, a Rhoades cargo plane #2 engine caught fire while taxiing to the runway. The incident forced the temporary closure of the airport and delay of several aircraft. LIAT planes had to hold before they could land or take off but there were no flight cancellations. There were two persons on-board the Rhoades plane, the captain and first officer both of whom were unhurt. The aircraft taxied on its own engines back to runway 10 where it underwent inspections and necessary repairs. On May 10, 2004, a LIAT de Havilland Canada DHC-8-311 flight made an emergency ...
