Good Evening All:
Just some thoughts on YTZ expansion plans.
At KLGA runways 04 22 13 and 31 are 7,000 feet in length all 150 feet wide. Runway 13 31 has a overrun of 460 feet. From recollection YTZ longest runway is just under 4,000 feet with no over run.
Has anyone seen the plans for YTZ expansion? What are the runway lengths? What is the runway overrun plans call for? What sort of upgrades to Emergency Services?
From News reports the First Responders from the Port Authority of New York were on scene in under five minutes.
I can only trust if they put jets in at YTZ they will not go cheap and put in a proper runway, proper overrun and upgrade the emergency services.
As a point of interest the nose is sticking over the East River so they almost went in the water (remember a 7,000 foot runway with over run).
Given a choice I will only use YYZ
