Jaunted

The old overhead pic of the Worldport is classic. Love that the image includes Concorde.

I'm surprised no mention was made of any effort or campaign to save the historic flying-saucer structure, such as our "Save the Worldport" campaign. A building this iconic and historic will certainly not go down without opposition.

We have already addressed the Port Authority regarding alternatives and adaptive re-use strategies. One such alternative involves demolishing only the 70s "Worldport" expansion but keeping the original flying-saucer as a retail area and use the freed up space behind it as the parking lot.

Or better yet, demolishing the 70s expansion, building a new, modern passenger facility behind the flying-saucer like jetBlue did with the TWA Flight Center, and then demolishing the ugly gray box Terminal 2 and put the aircraft parking there. Delta won't need Terminal 2 anyway since they shut down Comair and most of their regional jet business.

I'm sure a lot of people are looking forward to the wrecking ball, but most of those people are just irate passengers who hate dealing with Terminal 3. Once Delta moves to Terminal 4, they won't care either way.

The saucer may need a lot of repair but then again so did the TWA Flight Center. I agree JFK is a busy airport, and yes the TWA Flight Center has the Saarinen name and was already saved. But the saucer has a lot more history behind it and more potential for adaptive re-use and revenue.

Delta and the Port Authority really need to reconsider destroying this landmark. They might think it's a liability now, but they can use it to their advantage with the right planning and investment strategy.
