Why is it closed anyway?
they built LGA.
Ah, ok. But why not still keep it open as a GA reliever for LGA?

Ah, Ok, sorry for asking, but I am not from NY.
Newark is considered "New York"'s first major airport, (but it was in New Jersey).
Floyd Bennett was supposed to be, but among other things the road along Atlantic Avenue was not percieved as helpful as the New Jersey road access to EWR.
Mayor LaGuardia was instrumental in the development of LGA and later JFK was built, like Phil says rather "too close" by... although its a matter of perspective and planning.
Flushing airport co-existed with LGA for many years.
Bro, ask ANYTHING you ever want. That's why we're all here. :)Quote:
