Council for Airport Opportunity
The Council for Airport Opportunity (CAO) was created by a partnership of airline companies, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the mayor's offices of the city of Newark and city of New York, and the Federal Aviation Administration. This not-for-profit trade association promotes the growth and development of job opportunities in the aviation industry and responds to the human resource needs of airport employers.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is committed to creating new ways to reduce delays at all of its airports. One significant way to address delays is to invest in infrastructure improvements that will enable our airports to handle more aircraft more efficiently.
Improving operational efficiency. The reconstruction and rehabilitation of Runway 4L-22R included installing high-speed taxiways. The completion of high-speed taxiways, in addition to the runway renovations finished in 2015, allows aircraft landing at JFK the ability to exit the runway faster. This will allow the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to utilize the airfield more efficiently to reduce delays.
