The New York metropolitan area has seen a remarkable rebound in international travel, surpassing pre-pandemic levels in 2024. According to the Port Authority's recent report, airports including JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark Liberty set new records for air travelers and international travel demand. With a total of 145.9 million travelers, the airports are benefitting from an ambitious transformation involving upgraded amenities and infrastructure. Rick Cotton, the executive director of the Port Authority, highlighted the extraordinary achievement as a testament to their vision for modernized airport facilities.
A second consecutive record-breaking year, along with record-breaking international travel, is extraordinary. These numbers are a powerful affirmation of our ambitious vision and the remarkable transformation taking place at our airports to bring sleek new best-in-class terminals, upgraded passenger amenities and cutting-edge infrastructure to this region.
