Abstract :
Plans for a $60 million passenger terminal development at New York International Airport, a “Terminal City” of ten terminal buildings capable of accommodating 140 aircraft at one time, were made public by Bayard F. Pope, acting chairman of The Port of New York Authority, operator of the 5,000-acre airport. An innovation in airport design, the development will comprise an 11-city-block-long International Arrival Building with two adjacent Airline Wing Buildings, seven individual airline terminal buildings, and roadways, taxiways, aprons, and related facilities, all within a 655-acre central landscaped oval. The central terminal area is 105 acres larger than all of La Guardia Airport and three-fourths as large as Central Park.
