• Abstract:
  The survey which is the subject of this report was conducted as a joint undertaking by the domestic airlines serving La Guardia, New York International, and Newark Airports and The Port of New York Authority, to determine some of the basic characteristics of air travelers using these airports. The rapid and undiminished growth of air travel volume during the last few years has clearly indicated the changing character of air travel and travelers, and the development of a new dimension in the air transportation market. The Airlines and the Port Authority have a joint interest and obligation in developing and serving the untapped potential market for air transportation. One of the ways to foresee the nature and volume of air travel in the future, as it will affect the terminals and airlines serving the New York-Northern New Jersey Metropolitan Area, is to analyze the changing composition and characteristics of the people who use the airlines serving this area today, and periodically to conduct similar surveys in the future to determine and project the changing nature of the air travel market. Since most of the information considered relevant to the analysis can be supplied most readily, or exclusively, by travelers themselves, a questionnaire technique was used in this survey.
