Bill > A01401

This bill amends existing law to restrict flight operations at LaGuardia Airport, a terminal managed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Specifically, the bill prohibits nonstop flights to or from destinations more than 1,500 miles away, with two key exceptions: flights on Saturdays and flights to Denver, Colorado, are permitted. The bill will take effect either immediately or upon New Jersey enacting identical legislation, ensuring that both states implement the same flight restrictions. The purpose appears to be managing air traffic and potentially reducing congestion or environmental impact at LaGuardia Airport by limiting long-distance nonstop flights during most days of the week. The port authority will be responsible for creating and enforcing regulations to implement these flight restrictions.
