NEW YORK has posted figures of 94m passengers for its three airports last year, for the first time topping the pre-9/11 numbers. JFK led the way with 37.5m passengers in 2004, representing an 18% increase over 2003. LaGuardia Airport had 24.4m passengers, an increase of 8.7%, while Newark Liberty Airport recorded an 8.3% increase with 31.9m passengers in 2003. International traffic, which increased 15% in 2004, was expected to exceed the pre-9/11 pace this year. Mind you this only places New York third as the world”s aviation hub (and mostly domestic), easily beaten by London (120m) and Tokyo (98m) with Paris well behind with 70m passengers for its two major airports.
