COMMENTS: Hubbub at the Hub
All three networks had a reporter cover the reduction in maximum airline flight volumes at Kennedy Airport. "Because 75% of all delayed flights originate in New York, if you ease the congestion there you make things better across the country," CBS' Bill Plante explained. Such ceilings are already in place at La Guardia Airport; Newark Liberty is expected to follow Kennedy. Airlines had wanted to schedule 108 hourly flights into and out of JFK during peak periods, NBC's Tom Costello reported. The new limit, starting in March, will be 83. "The new restrictions do not mean fewer flights per day," ABC's David Muir (no link) pointed out. "They are simply being spread out, before and after peak hours."
