The dark clouds that have hung over Teterboro Airport for many months about issues of noise, safety and security evaporated at a press conference last month. For the first time, representatives of neighbors and airport users appeared to be on the same frequency and expressed satisfaction about the apparent meeting of minds.

The press conference was arranged by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ, which owns the airport) in response to recommendations made by the Teterboro Airport Industry Working Group established last year to deal with the concerns of neighbors, voiced principally by Rep. Steve Rothman (D-N.J.), whose district includes Teterboro Airport.
