phone program by having each airline provide
an 800 to enable families to report a missing person
believed to have been involved in the disaster. This
ties into the Unifi ed Victim Identifi cation System
which is critical to victim accounting.
Specifi cally Brandt recommended that the
airlines follow the federal mandated rules which
include: Each airline have a designated person to
handle an event, establish an 800 number for the
public to reach the airline, coordinate with the
311 city phone for missing people and have a large
facility for Family Assistance. ( Currently the Hilton
at JFK and the LaGuardia Plaza Hotel at LaGuardia
Airport are working with the NYC OEM)and to
attend the training that the OEM offers.
Brandt said that may airlines responded to the
outreach last year by the NTSB and OEM and that
many airlines have completed the training. The next
training is set for May. Brandt may be contacted at
jbrandt@oem.nyc.gov.For more information on the
May date and place.
Training is held throughout the year. Over 15
airlines have participated and Brandt encourages
more to get involved.
Brandt commented, “By attending our
preparedness training we can help get you into
facility ready to provide all things you need and work
with our management team when necessary.” For

Both Kaamco President Ana Lemos and VP Roger

The Port offered more
detail on the basis for the
construction, offering
detailed modeling of
what a bad weather day
impact would have on
operation based on a very
bad day back in July 2018.
The possibility of severe
weather happening
this summer combined
with a constricted
movement on the airport
put airlines managers
in a tough spot. This
could potentially incur
millions of dollars in
delays.fi nes, customer
inconvenience and
possible safety issues.
It was clear that some
airlines did not agree
with the analysis and
wanted the project to be
delayed so there would
be more time to review.
But Port presented more
information that tied the
scheduled construction
into the overall
redevelopment plans for
T5 and T1 redevelopment.
Port sited that the delay
of the overall plan would
further complicate the
redevelopment plan
going forward. and
have a domino effect on
aditional projects
It was recommended
that a small change to the
proposed construction
contain a change in
schedule for taxiways
workarounds. An FAA
spokesman said that this
seemed reasonable but
that this would require
a plan amendment
having to go through the
proposal process, he said
it looked promising.
But, persistence,
logical exchange of
ideas, taxiway changes,
revised runway closure
timing, support by
the FAA, creation of
a weekly progress
meeting, intensifi ed
communication and
promises by the Port
to do everything to
mitigate problems in
events of bad weather,
all worked to establish a
satisfactory timeframe
and agreement.
