La Guardia: A New Gateway to the West?

The article reports that the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is thinking about ending a ban on flights longer than 1,500 miles from La Guardia Airport in New York City. Mike Boyd of consultancy Boyd Group International said such a move would introduce flights to the U.S. West Coast from La Guardia at the cost of fewer flights to smaller and closer cities. Delta Air Lines Inc. has reportedly been lobbying the port authority for longer flights.
