In an attempt to help keep the flying public fully apprised of what’s happening as a result of Hurricane Sandy, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark Liberty airports, issued a 10:00 A.M. EST bulletin with a list of what is expected to remain flying over the next 36-48 hours.
The list, according to Port Authority spokesman Bob Payne, includes the following:
Wadded up tickets, terminal signage, luggage carts, drug-sniffing dogs, skycap uniforms, Rosetta Stone retail sales associates, children who refuse to hold their mother’s hand, catering trucks, taxi cabs, inter-terminal buses, and airport parking toll booths.
Payne said the list does not include items normally found aloft at area airports, such as seagulls, baggage handlers, and flight attendant uniforms.
“We’ll be issuing a list update at 2 p.m.,” Payne said. “And should have word by then on whether it will include the Newark Liberty control tower.”
