Revision as of 04:42, 22 June 2006
Location
Is it entirely on the coast of the bay, or is part of it actually in the bay? (Did they extend a runway beyond the natural coastline onto landfill that they dumped in the bay?)
Name
I think that this page should be renamed to the fuller "John F. Kennedy International Airport", since the airport is also well known under this name. WhisperToMe 00:57, 19 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Tragedy
The word tragedy has been in the article since the first version. I strongly disagree with those who state that it is POV. Are we now required not to offend al-Qaeda supporters? Brooklyn Nellie (Nricardo) 23:21, Apr 13, 2004 (UTC)
Its not necessary to call it a tragedy. Let the reader decide if September 11 was a tragedy or not. WhisperToMe 23:32, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Why was this moved?
Is there a reason "New York/" was added? That does not seem to be part of the official or common name. --SPUI (talk) 23:46, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I have moved it back, after finding no evidence of a name change. --SPUI (talk) 00:06, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I was just about to do the same. That was exactly the right thing to do. Nohat 00:13, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
There are three airports in the New York area and to avoid confusion with which one. Like O'Hare is Chicago O'Hare. SNIyer12 19:14, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- Yep, but they don't do that in New York. WhisperToMe 20:19, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
The Christopher Elliot comment
Does this deserve to be here? I did a Google search on him, and the results were weak, at best. Pacific Coast Highway 18:44, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
Significant Presence
I've removed the line that BA has a significant presence and someone has been restoring it. Being the leading non-US carrier out of Kennedy does not earn British Airways special mention. They have 8 flights a day to their hubs (7 to London, 1 to Manchester). American, United, and Air Canada each have 10-11 flights a day out of Heathrow and SAS has 20, so do they have a significant presence there? Dbinder 22:36, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
New York-JFK or New York-Kennedy??
When listing the destinations of airlines that fly to this airport, what is the best designation for JFK? New York-JFK or New York-Kennedy? I think that the designation should be listed as "New York-JFK" because every single airport article on Wiki have "New York-JFK" as the designation for JFK Airport. What are your suggestions? Bucs2004 20:18, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- I'd go for New York-JFK, since I don't think people say "I'm flying from Kennedy to XXX" but rather "I'm flying from JFK to XXX". Elektrik Blue 82 21:46, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, because I saw one user kept putting the designation "New York-Kennedy" instead of "New York-JFK" under the airport articles Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and Austin Bergstrom International Airport but I have switched it back from "New York-Kennedy" to "New York-JFK". Bucs2004 22:15, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- Kennedy or JFK are both acceptable according to Wiki:Airports Talk page. I would stick with Kennedy, though, since other cities with multiple airports don't use the codes. Such as Hobby, LaGuardia, O'Hare, Midway, Intercontinental, Dulles, etc., etc. 70.123.197.99 01:05, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
