Section 2. Profiles of NJTPA Region Core Airports
An integral task of this report was to profile the core airports in the NJTPA region. The following information and data was gathered through staff visits to the 19 airports in the region and conducting on-site interviews with their owners and/or managers.  Newark-Liberty Airport, predominantly a commercial service airport, was not profiled. The purpose of these site visits was to establish an understanding of the role of general aviation in the NJTPA region.  As part of this understanding, it became apparent in discussions with the NJDOT Bureau of Aeronautics and airport managers, that wayfinding to these airports was an area where the NJTPA could contribute to NJDOT, county and municipal efforts. Along with a narrative on each core airport, an aerial photograph of the airport property is provided, as is a locational map and a map depicting traffic volumes on adjacent major roadways.
 This report is not meant to supplant either federal or state regulations or policy concerning general aviation airport operations, or on-airport activities. The NJTPA will look to assist the state in airport preservation through its ongoing planning activities and the consideration of general access improvements as well as signage to the region’s GA airports.
