On September 19, 2024, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (“PANYNJ”) held a consultation meeting to discuss a new passenger facility charge (“PFC”) application for several infrastructure projects at Newark Liberty International Airport (“EWR”) and John F. Kennedy International Airport (“JFK”). If approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”), the new application plans to collect $1,410,050,000 in PFC funding at a collection level of $4.50 per eligible enplaned passenger. Citing projections that ridership will double by 2040, the PANYNJ’s new application seeks to expand existing system capacity and modernize aging infrastructure. In response to its application, PANYNJ requests carriers provide written certification of agreement or disagreement by October 21, 2024. Any carrier that fails to certify a position by the deadline will be considered to have certified its agreement. Airlines can send certifications of agreement or disagreement to Passenger_Facility_Charge@panynj.com.
