Operating Limitations at New York
LaGuardia Airport; Notice of Order
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of order.
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: On September 11, 2006, the
FAA issued a proposed order, which
requested written views on the FAA’s
tentative determination to place
temporary limitations on flight
operations at New York’s LaGuardia
Airport (LaGuardia). The temporary
limits are intended to prevent the
congestion-related delays that would
otherwise occur during the interval
between the expiration of the High
Density Rule and the effective date of a
long-term regulation. In response to
comments, the FAA is issuing a final
order (the Order) that adopts the
proposed limitations with some
modifications. The limitations will
permit 75 scheduled and six
unscheduled operations per hour
between 6 a.m. through 9:59 p.m.,
Eastern time, Monday through Friday
and from 12 noon through 9:59 p.m.,
Eastern Time, on Sundays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
LaGuardia’s runway capacity cannot
accommodate the number of flight
operations that carriers would like to
operate without the development of
significant congestion. Rules adopted by
the FAA have long limited the number

of LaGuardia operations during peak
demand periods. By statute enacted six
years ago, those rules will terminate as
of January 1, 2007. The FAA has
proposed a long-term rule in a separate
docket that would limit the number of
scheduled and unscheduled operations
at LaGuardia.1 We are currently
soliciting comments on that notice of
proposed rulemaking. Because the FAA
will be unable to complete that
rulemaking by January 1, carrier
operations at LaGuardia would be
unrestricted unless the FAA adopts
temporary limits that will remain in
place until the rulemaking’s completion.
Without such operational limitations,
the FAA expects that severe congestionrelated delays will occur, both at
LaGuardia and at other airports
throughout the National Airspace
System (NAS) as a result of capacity
constraints at LaGuardia. The FAA
therefore has proposed to adopt shortterm limitations on LaGuardia flights
while that rulemaking is completed,
and, after considering the comments, is
issuing this final Order limiting
LaGuardia operations.
The FAA’s authority to limit the
number of flight operations at
LaGuardia is an essential component of
the FAA’s statutory responsibilities.2
The FAA holds broad authority under
49 U.S.C. 40103(b) to regulate the use of
the navigable airspace of the United
States. This provision authorizes the
FAA to develop plans and policy for the
use of navigable airspace and, by order
or rule, to regulate the use of the
airspace as necessary to ensure its
efficient use.

accommodate the number of flight

significant congestion. Rules adopted by
the FAA have long limited the number
of LaGuardia operations during peak
demand periods. By statute enacted six

Without such operational limitations,
the FAA expects that severe congestionrelated delays will occur, both at
LaGuardia and at other airports
throughout the National Airspace
System (NAS) as a result of capacity

therefore has proposed to adopt shortterm limitations on LaGuardia flights

The FAA’s authority to limit the

LaGuardia is an essential component of
the FAA’s statutory responsibilities.4
The FAA holds broad authority under
49 U.S.C. 40103(b) to regulate the use of
the navigable airspace of the United
States. This provision authorizes the
FAA to develop plans and policy for the
use of navigable airspace and, by order
or rule, to regulate the use of the
airspace as necessary to ensure its
efficient use.
As a result of LaGuardia’s history of
congestion-related delays, the FAA, over
the course of nearly forty years, applied
increasingly detailed rules to govern the
allocation and use of the limited
capacity at the airport.5 These
regulations, collectively known as the
High Density Rule (HDR) and the BuySell Rule (or slot rules), effectively
controlled congestion at LaGuardia. In
2000, however, out of concern with the
collateral effects of the slot rules at
LaGuardia on airport access and
competition, Congress included a
provision in the Wendell H. Ford
Aviation Investment and Reform Act for
the 21st Century (AIR–21) that
terminates the LaGuardia slot rules as of
January 1, 2007.6 Congress
simultaneously directed the U.S.
Department of Transportation, effective
immediately, to grant exemptions from
the HDR for flights that would serve
small hub and non-hub airports with
aircraft with less than 71 seats and to
grant a limited number of applications
for slot exemptions from new entrant
and limited incumbent carriers.7
As carriers began using the slot
exemptions permitted under AIR–21,
