The provided bar chart compares the total number of passengers at three local airports: John F. Kennedy, LaGuardia, and Newark over a five-year period starting from 1995.
In summary, it is clear that while LaGuardia and Newark experienced an upward trend in passenger numbers over the period studied, John F. Kennedy saw significant fluctuations. Notably, 1997 marked a sharp rise in passengers at John F. Kennedy and Newark, making John F. Kennedy the most popular choice among the three airports.
Commencing from the peak in 1995, LaGuardia witnessed the highest influx of travelers, reaching 35 million. Each subsequent year until 1999 saw a steady increase of 5 million visitors. Remarkably, by the end of the period in 2000, the number of tourists arriving at LaGuardia surged dramatically, equaling two-thirds of the combined arrivals at the other two airports, totaling 70 million people.
Conversely, Newark airport recorded the lowest passenger count, with 15 million passengers, constituting only two-thirds of the total arrivals at John F. Kennedy. However, subsequent years witnessed a consistent rise in departures from Newark, whereas John F.
