New York Area Program Integration Office (NYAPIO) Closeout Results of NY ARC 77

December 2007 — The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) Task Force and Aviation Rulemaking Committee delivered their final reports, identifying nearly identical lists of 77 initiatives.

October 2009 — The FAA responded to an Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report on the ARC 77 progress stating it would perform a comprehensive review and evaluate the open initiatives to improve tracking, integration and accountability. This report is the result of that evaluation.

NYAPIO Delay Reduction Plan Report

New York Area Program Integration Office (NYAPIO) Delay Reduction Plan (DRP)

Delay Reduction Plan Report

The Delay Reduction Plan is based on high level events and project milestones extracted from an Integrated Master Schedule of all delay reduction initiatives and supporting projects in the New York Metro Area. The Plan will be used as an official briefing tool of the activities pursued by the NYAPIO and is being made available to stakeholders internal and external to the FAA via this website.

The Delay Reduction Plan schedules are posted monthly.

• The Delay Reduction Plan has been updated.

What We Do

The New York Area Program Integration Office (NYAPIO) was established to address congestion and delay issues in the New York Metropolitan Area.  To do that, we developed the New York Area Integrated Master Schedule and Delay Reduction Plan.

In 2007 the airline industry had one of the worst performance records in aviation history. New York area airports had more delays than any airport in the country. Approximately 75% of all delays in the National Airspace System were attributed to flights arriving, departing, or traversing the NY Metropolitan area airspace. Delays have a direct impact on the aviation industry and the ability to transport passengers and goods in a timely and cost-effective manner. We exist to fix that.

Although on-time performance in the NY Metropolitan area airspace has improved, the New York area airports remain among the most delayed airports in the country. There remains work to be accomplished to improve system efficiency and on-time performance in the NY Metropolitan area airspace. NYAPIO continues to address congestion and delays in the NY Metropolitan area airspace. 

How We Accomplish our Mission

The New York Area Program Integration Office:

1. Leads a matrix team consisting of representatives from the Air Traffic Organization, Aviation Safety, Airports, and Aviation Policy, Planning and Environment
2. Oversees the integration of all activities to address congestion and flight delays
3. Facilitates communication among all stakeholders
4. Integrates all parts of the New York Metropolitan Area Delay Reduction Plan, with a focus on:
   • Facilities
   • Equipment
   • Airspace changes
   • Process/procedures
   • Timelines

Eastern Region Aircraft Noise and Community Engagement Information

For the areas served by the Eastern Region Administration, we provide information on community involvement and aircraft noise issues, including how to submit a noise complaint or inquiry.

Noise Complaints & Inquiries

Noise from Aircraft Operations at Your Community Airport

The FAA's continuing mission is to ensure the safe and efficient use of our nation's navigable airspace. We also participate in an array of research and community engagement activities focused on addressing aircraft noise. However, airport sponsors (i.e., owners/operators) also share the responsibility for reducing incompatible land uses and noise impacts on residents of the surrounding area.

Partnering Airports for Noise Complaints & Inquiries

To serve the public and avoid duplication of efforts between the FAA and airports, Partnering Airports respond to aircraft noise complaints or inquiries within a predefined area from their airport. The FAA and Partnering Airports coordinate responses and share noise-related information.

To send a noise complaint or inquiry about a noise concern:

• Review FAA's noise complaint and inquiry policy(PDF) to become familiar with how we process these submissions.
• Contact Partnering Airports:
  • Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) (within 4 miles of the airport)
  • Montgomery County Airpark (GAI) (within 6 miles of the airport)
• Non-partnering airports: Enter the address where the noise concern occurred to contact the nearest non-partnering airport
• If you wish to send a noise complaint or inquiry not directly related to an airport (or if you have already communicated with an airport), please use the FAA's online noise inquiry form.

Regional Ombudsman

The FAA Regional Administrator designates a Regional Ombudsman.

• Each Regional Ombudsman will work with the Regional Administrator to ensure public inquires related to aviation noise, pollution, and safety are properly addressed.
• Contact the Regional Ombudsman with other aviation noise-related questions and concerns.

Aviation Noise General Information

Learn about aviation noise and the FAA's ongoing work to improve our understanding of the ways aviation noise may affect communities.

Community Engagement

The FAA is committed to inform and involve the public, engage with communities and give meaningful consideration to community concerns and views as we make aviation decisions that affect them.
